Hey!
I am sorry to use this issue section for this, but here we go:

I saw you also bought a GP1294, (olikraus/u8g2#2213), so I was wondering how you powered it.

Since you dont have a public mail, I wanted to politely ask here if you could help me out.
Mine will arrive in a few weeks.

I saw the datasheet (which you posted in the other issue) which said one should appply around 75-100V DC to it.

Can you post your wiring scheme?

I bought mine of ebay (https://www.ebay.ca/itm/354790145336), did you also order yours from there?

Do you have any ressources on the web to this? I have the feeling that the information on how to power these is quite rare.
Some said one needs a special VFD driver board. Is that true, or will any DC powersupply do the job just fine?

Any help is appreciated!
Thank you very much!
