I'm the proud owner of a shiny new Matrix Orbital VFD (VK202-25). I'm hoping to use the VFD as a mod bus to power my cathodes and any other misc lighting in my new case. Unfortunately the GPOs don't produce enough power to do that and I'm reliably informed (thanks Macroman!) that I need some sort of relay circuit to make this possible. Now I know what a relay circuit is and, at a very basic level, how it works but I'm reluctant to try and knock one up myself without help because I might trash my VFD (apparrently there's no voltage protection on the GPOs). Has anyone out there built one of these? Anyone got a circuit diagram and/or Maplin part numbers for the required kit? I'm an able solderer, I'm just not that good on the technical stuff...yet.
