I'm working to understand HDMI better, as I want to expand my XboxDVI project to have proper HDMI compatibility (even though I can't afford the licensing right now), and I want to be able to potentially apply what I learn to other consoles in the future. As such, I'm going to be dropping my...

All three are spoken for, any further interest gets put on a first come first serve list for if anything falls through.

These never came with the FFC cable, so unfortunately it isn't included.

I have 3 UltraVGAs available. Never been used, still in the antistatic bags they came in. I haven't used them in three years and I have no plans to use them, so I figure they aren't doing anyone any good sitting in my desk drawer. Asking $100 each.

I've done some board layout on the assumption that my program works and can be applied to the MAX V. And don't worry, I flipped around the DVI connector to face the right way. :P

I've done a bit further work, and I think I'll be able to use this $0.90 part for the logic that needs doing. I'm trying to decide if I want to commit $15 to assuming I'm right or if I want to use one of the boards I've already bought as a breakout and use a dev kit...

Did the cap replacement this evening. I'm pretty happy with it, however one of them had to be relocated differently than I had planned.

Welp, I've written the code to be able to use the TFP410 in my design, now I just have to figure out how to actually use it: library IEEE; use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all; entity Splitter is port (Clock : in std_logic...

I wasn't aware of the existing HDMI project, however it doesn't seem that much is being done there.The major reason I'm not going with HDMI directly is licensing fees. As far as Wii2HDMI, I could go that route, but my screen supports VGA (if it ever arrives), so my backup plan is to just use...

There, that's a little better. 27.5*49.25 mm

I've designed the first iteration of the 24v board, it's 60*32mm. Now that it's done, I don't like it for a variety of reasons. I'm going to try again, putting the low profile components on the backside of the board and the tall components on the topside of it. Maybe I'll be able to squish it...

The xbox has some mildly odd power requirements. It uses the same 20 pin Molex MiniFit Jr connector that an ATX PSU output, however the pinout is completely different. As it stands, the typical solution is to use a PicoPSU, a small ATX PSU, a modify it to work with the original xbox. PicoPSUs...

Can I like this twice? I'm super excited to see what comes from this. I need to see all of the math!

Well, I've ordered a couple of PicoPSUs, one to power this with and one to play with, as that's what everyone uses for the slim xboxen. However, at the same time, I've taken up the project of designing my own PSU. It looks like it would be twice the size and 5 times the cost, so it's worse in...

Well, the boards came in today. And they're beautiful. Good thing these boards were already screwed up.

I've been waiting on parts and tools to arrive, so I haven't been able to do much, however I've designed a rudimentary bottom half of a case and a mount for the heatsinks. I've also cleaned up the model a little bit to be a bit easier to work with.

I use an Amprobe AM-510 that I got back when they were $50. https://smile.amazon.com/Amprobe-Multimeter/dp/B00U2F4E6Y At school we used the Fluke 115, and it's a pretty damn solid meter. https://smile.amazon.com/Fluke-115-Compact-True-RMS-Multimeter/dp/B000OCFFMW That said, I also have a lot of...

I took a closer look at the xbox board for the first time today, and my base assumption was wrong. The xbox does not use 24 bit single edged rgb, it likely uses 24 bit double edged rgb. What this mean is that: A) It uses half as many pins for video, so when I get something working the install...

Just noticed a silly error I made on the board design, so I've gone ahead and fixed that in KiCAD and need to remember to fix it when my boards come in the mail. Luckily I just need to solder in a short ass jumper to make the repair. Now if only the boards could get through customs and get on...
