I like this ! I would be curious to see a modern OS or 3Dgame running this way :) It's a good idea, I don't have a very modern PC, but if someone has it it might be interesting to see a demo in amber mode, for example. But you can see an example of what Ghost And Goblins looks like, with the first …

personally, the option with diodes I think is the best option. And if your amber output does not convince you, you can always short-circuit the diodes. In any case, I hope you like the result, you will tell us! 😀

Hi, interesting project! I have a question: for the regular (non-PRO) version, which one will give the best Amber output, the one with the diodes or the one without? The one with no diodes, but with the drawback that the color change with the switch is not good. However, the effect of the diodes in …

Now discounted for the latest units of the PRO version: https://www.tindie.com/products/spark2k06/monochromevga-pro/ and back in stock of Basic version, with improvements over the previous batch: https://www.tindie.com/products/spark2k06/monochromevga/

]Did you ever bother to connect JD for a resolution to your issues? How about a youtube video or blog post to air it out? All this secrecy is a bit um shall we say unusual. We know the first revision boards had serial issues and that is documented what revision was yours? Revision 1.2 Yes, I …

Sold. If anyone has an interest in the other PCBs with problems, I will provide detailed information and prices by private message. Several months ago I ventured to build this project. Finally I can say that I have achieved it, after many setbacks: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ …

Another option may be to acquire a right angle adapter like this one, even if it is 24 pins, the 20 pins enter correctly: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32880547486.html

The horizontal connector can be a problem if a picoPSU is connected, since there is no space below for the cables that exit from it. Very cool, just curious why did you lay the power connector horizontal? Thanks :) And because I like the look of a side-entering ATX connector more. This board is not …

I added a warning in the Tindie ad and in the hackaday article: "Disclaimer: It is recommended to use this device inside an shielded container, which can be as simple as a cardboard box lined with aluminium foil, because although unlikely, the VGA signal could interfere with other nearby devices and …

Okay, now I understand. Thank you very much for the advice, I will keep it in mind for future editions. Operating this unshielded is like operating broadcasting equipment. Might cause costly problems if people (not only radio amateurs!) feel annoyed by the noise being aired. As I said, no type of …

As I said, no type of noise or distortion is appreciated. The operation is totally normal, at least visually. …

Thanks! I do not see any distortion in the image, what does happen, especially in B & W and Ambar, is a slight decrease in intensity, but it can be solved by raising the brightness of the monitor 😀

However, an approximate value you will be obtained with the corresponding resistors too. From these values, in a first prototype with a proto-board, I was testing with 3 variable resistors until finding the values ​​that looked best on the monitor, the result you can see in the video that I posted …

My name is Aitor and I would like to show you the following hardware design that I have published in Hackaday.io and I have available for sale in Tindie, both the kit version and full assembled. The goal is to simulate a monochrome monitor from a VGA signal in color, both in televisions and PC …
