I had always planned to use the Arduino Uno to display an output on a PC display with a VGA connection. The omens of the past holidays were favorable: fresh at work.My take...... a decommissioned 19 "monitor - the main thing is a VGA connection is available... the library VGAX from Sandro Maffiodo (also available for other devices in Github)... at least 4 PINs jumper cable and... a typical VGA cable and put on the female jumpers (yes, the female jumpers fit directly on it).Arduino Pin assignment:
Basic background knowledge about the VGA connection and its PINs.
For German readers, Heise-Verlag offers a fee-based, in-depth article on the subject.Result with the examples attached to the library:
In the beginning, I cut a working VGA cable and was surprised at what came out. I checked the PIN assignment several times, but as a result my crimped creation didn't work. Shame on me.
Trying makes you smart: so why cumbersome? The jumpers are connected directly to the original cable. Easy - works!
With the 68 ohms I recommend adding 22R and 47R. So it worked.Summary: buy a VGA adapter before you cut a working cable, just to save yourself 1-2 euros ;-)
