VGA Output from Arduino



Is there any method to output VGA with Arduino?



Answer



This is quite difficult to do well but there are a couple of examples. The main difficulty is in the speed of the CPU.


Here's one doing direct VGA output: Make: Arduino VGA Demo


If you Google "Arduino VGA" there are a few demo projects.


A couple options are the "TellyMate" shield that lets you output Composite rather than VGA (the single yellow connector you find on your TV.


Another is the "PICASO Universal Base Board" and "PICASO VGA/SVGA Graphics Controller" - this is not a direct shield but probably the best option I have seen.


Both the above items are available from Sparkfun and Little Bird Electronics among other places.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
