First of all, Hello, Im new here - please dont stab me too much 
Second of all, I have searched a lot regarding this particular VFD and found some good info, but I guess Im just too stupid to hook it up and get it working 
Third, I have an arduino Leonardo (that info might be important :))
Okey, so I salvaged this 16x2 VFD from my old HTPC case. The datasheet can be found here: http://www.mctronic.it/products/doc/ZBOE/character%20VFM/VFM162SDA2.pdf
It seems to support 3 different protocols - serial, parallel(intel) and parallel(motorola). What the difference between Intel and Motorola is I have no idea 
The default mode was set to motorola, but I have bridged it to serial since I want to use as few pins as possible. The VFD is powered by a PTC PT6314 chip.
And, well, thats about where Im stuck. I cant get it to work :/. Ive tried hooking SI/SO to MOSI, SCK to... SCK lol, and STB(strobe) to a digital pin as instructed in-a-thread-I-cant-find-atm.
I have also tried using the lib found at http://forum.magictale.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=357&start=30 , as that person has a PT6311-chip(close enough, or so I thought lol), but that doesnt work either...
So yeah... I dont know what I should try next - which is why I turn to you for help :).
Is there any hope getting it to work on my Leonardo, or should I just throw it out the window and save up for an LCD? I dont look to do anything advanced with it, I just want to display temperature from an LM35 sensor. Of course, if I can do some more advanced stuff with it I wont complain But the main purpose will be displaying temperature.
Im not sure if its allowed to ask 2 questions in the same thread, but...
I also have this LCD with a touchscreen: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/45081/TD028STEB1.pdf
Id like to use the touchscreen, but I cant find out how to wire it since it got X1, Y1, X2 and Y2 rather than VCC, X, Y and GND.
Thanks in advance!
