Arduino frequency counter to vfd display.

Hi all
I am new to this forum.
I basically wanted to build a frequency counter and i got the
code from the internet and it basically uses a 74hc14n and read and display
the frequency in the serial print yeah thats fine.Now here comes the tricky
part i have wanted to display the frequnecy one 11 digit vfd dislay that doesnt have
a drive in it it just the barebones vfd and i could really get any code that i could change
or revers engenire it.Oh and i dont know what circuit to use for the vfd i know all the
pins on the vfd.If anyone has doen anything like this or even near this and they
have a circuit or a code it would be well appricieted.Sorry i am asking so much i really am
new to arduino and dont have a lot of programing skills.

Thanks

Start with a simpler project. Seriously.

Hi, what is the VFD without a drive in it, can you explain?
OR do you want to display the frequency that the VFD is operating at on your frequency counter?
What is the make and model of the VSD?

Yes i have done some other project with arduino like home automation and some other stuf.
But this came in my minde last night and i started searching but could finde anything.

Well its the standalone vfd display it has 12 grids and 13 segment.
I have doen a frequency counter that reads from a 74hc14n and the arduinoe
reads it and dispalys the frequency in the serial read well i want to display the
frequency one a vfd.I have heard that u can drive vfd with some 16bit shift register
but i cant find anything related to this.

Hi, what is a VFD, in my world it is a Variable Frequency Drive.

Yep thats what i thought first but then i saw that
VFD is used for both vacume flurecent diplay and varibale frequency drive.
No that i am thinking does anyone know a project in with they build a arduino volt meter with
led display just asking.

Yes. See here: This is what you want.
