Ideas from China

First of all apologize for my poor English.

I come from China's northern cities.

I learned this two years ago inadvertently software.

At that time very like it.

However, because it is difficult to buy such products in China.

So we do a USB interface VFD display.

I find myself processing products very cheap.

US dollar prices of about 50.

Including case, keyboard interfaces, GPO interface, USB interface and connection lines, VFD display.

VFD display is the Korean Samsung products.

CPU use is PIC MCU.

In China there are many friends like LCD Smartie.

However, because our mother tongue is Chinese language, so it was rarely able to use this software.

Some of my friends like this on the very software.

I now have two ideas.

The first idea that the cheap USB-VFD monitors to the country.

The second idea, LCD Smartie translated into Chinese language version.

This would allow more people to use this software.

I hope someone here can help me achieve those ideas.

Translation is an option we like to have in some of the future versions...
However we need someone with good knowledge of chinese languange to do it!

So we do a USB interface VFD display.
I find myself processing products very cheap.
US dollar prices of about 50.

about the hardware we need extra information!

First of all thank you for your answer.

I hope that the English name would not cause trouble.

I will provide a detailed hardware information and pictures.

If you interested in this product, I can provide free samples to you.

If we are considering the production of Chinese language plug-ins.

Babybear, I assume your display uses standard chinese fonts instead of english? What size is your VFD, how many buttons and GPO's?

I would be interested in more information as well.

limbo I got them, right click and do a view picture. I think they are too big to load into the thread for some reason

Babybear, I do not have MSN just AIM. What did you use to write the firmware? (C, Basic, Assembly?). What PIC are you using?
