Video output for microcontroller
Video output for microcontroller
(OP)
Hi,
I wanted to reply to thread240-155869: Video output for microcontroller , but unfortunately it is closed, so that's why new thread ... I basically want a video (VGA) output from a microcontroller (PIC18 preferably). Someone recommended Parallax Propeller, but I have no experience with it nor I think it has enough power to do this job.
My idea is to use old ISA VGA card to do this job, but how complicated is it to initialize the card and set-up videomode from scratch (i.e. no video BIOS) ?
Another option would be something like http://www.microvga.com/ but it does only text mode (but has also keyboard interface integrated).
Ideas?
Thanks.
JK

RE: Video output for microcontroller
Drivers available for PAL and NTSC. You don't have to write a single line of code to get video. I love it.

I'd have to agree with Gunnar.

RE: Video output for microcontroller
amouts of data that needs to be transfered for any type
of quality graphics. I would look at the imx 27 or a
Davinci processor. Depends on the applications.
