I'm new to the LCD-VFD topic and have a little question.
First let me explain what i want to use the LCD-VFD for:
I want to create my own Domotica project at home and want' to control the temperature and music in each room (and maybe some other stuff in the future) I want to control this from 1 central point (probably touch-TFT) and ofcourse in every room seperatly. this is where the LCD-VFD comes into play.
Now my first question (of manny probably) is:
- Is there a limitation to the distance that there can be between a USB display and the PC (preferebly USB, because i don't have 6 serial ports on my PC) and if there is, how can you overcome this?
Is there anny other series or means of connection that can cover more then 16 feet?
I think the maximum distance I need is about 50 feet if I use 1 PC on the ground floor.
If I use more PC's (1 per floor) I ofcourse can shorten the distance.
