Introduction
Vinco is a development module inspired by the Arduino concept and uses the Vinculum II, VNC2 device.
Vinco uses a VNC2-64Q package to facilitate 38 GPIO options on 0.1” pitch sockets. Vinco is designed
as a prototyping platform for VNC2 based designs and applications.
This application note describes an example of how to use the Vinco module to create and display text
messages on a 2 line, 16 character, monochrome LCD display. The application note also provides “C”
source code examples to help the user get started with their own specific application. This source code
can be downloaded from the FTDI website at:

1.1 VNC2 Devices
VNC2 is the second of FTDI’s Vinculum family of embedded dual USB host controller devices.
The VNC2
device provides USB Host interfacing capability for a variety of different USB device classes including
support for BOMS (bulk only mass storage), Printer and
HID (human interface devices).
For mass
storage devices such as USB Flash drives, VNC2 transparently handles the FAT file structure.
Communication with non USB devices, such as a low cost microcontroller, is accomplished via either
UART, SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces. VNC2 provides a new, cost effective solution for providing USB Host
capability into products that previously did not have the hardware resources available.
VNC2 allows customers to develop their own firmware using the Vinculum II software development tool
suite. These development tools provide compiler, assembler, linker and debugger tools complete within
an integrated development environment (IDE).
The Vinculum-II
VNC2
family of devices are available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) 32-lead LQFP, 32-lead
QFN, 48-lead LQFP, 48-lead QFN, 64-Lead LQFP and 64-lead QFN packages For more information on the
