timofonic Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Does this toy will be released in the future? I have a few old VGA monitors that can start to being really very useful with that 8)
audiocommander Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 it can be found in the download section.
audiocommander Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Everyone of us misses sometimes obvious links ;)(at least I do ;D )
stryd_one Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 I never do, because I'm perfect in every way. :-X ;D baaaaaaaaahahahahahahhaa !!!
DrBunsen Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Except timofonic is asking about VGA, and this app outputs PAL video
HL-SDK Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 VGA is nice and easy but you need a pin for hsync, a pin for vsync, and 3 pins for R, G, and B.If we could get all of those, you could do multicolored stuff!This is a project worth persuing... after I learn some more ASM, I'd hope to contribute to this! (no PAL here :'()
Therezin Posted October 23, 2006 Report Posted October 23, 2006 Right, I know this topic's getting a little old now, but how's this sound...TV resolution, frame rate etc are limited by available memory, and the app to display to a TV takes up most of the rest of the memory leaving no room for anything musical.1. PIC18F4620 has a lot more memory than the 452, so can this be used for more code / resolution?2. Could a driver be written that uses the MBHP_TV as a large (G)LCD, running off a second MBHP_CORE? EDIT: I know it annoys people to say this, I know it certainly annoys me, but my programming skills are nowhere near good enough to implement this, I just came up with the idea and thought it best to post it before I forgot..
HL-SDK Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 The driver being written... maybe with super heavy modding to the whole core module...I dont know where this app spits out its signals, but you could use an AOUT for VGA, which would be 0volts (zero brightness) to .7 volts.Of course R, G, and B, and 2 syncs... It could be done!
mess Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Is the refreshrate of the max525 high enough for video?the versions I've seen use a discrete R-2R resistor ladder...
HL-SDK Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 MAX525 looks like it could do video... I didn't entirely read what it was but the total harmonic distortion (distortion of incomming analog? seems fine until about 50khz, where it shoots up pretty sharply.Luckily, maxim is amazing with samples and if they will let you sample a chip, they ship them in nice little boxes and everything...What would you use the max525 for? Analog->digital ins for a pseudo DIN input?That would be pretty cool to have the monitor's signals converted to digital or whatever but what were you thinking?
snykehd Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Are there any news on this topic in the meantime?
stryd_one Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Not much more to say... it was a fun thing for TK, he is finished with it for now, so it is a good proof of concept.
