PropGFX Lite

PropGFX-VGA

Baggers — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:49:05

Hi all,
just to let you all know, we've decided to let the cat out of the bag with this one, as we've also done a PropGFX-VGA yes, it's going to be a Dip40 device, but with VGA output, and all the same capabilities of the Lite, but with VGA output instead of Composite output
and it will be 256 colours, not just 64, as it is in this demo

Build progress update

Baggers — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:23:27

Hi All,
Just to let you all know what the state of play is, as we're closing in on our release date for PropGFX Lite

Hardware wise,

We're currently waiting on delivery of
1) the propeller chips
2) the legs/pins for our DIP40
they should be with us in about 2-3 weeks, then we can start building them.

Software wise,

I've just finalised serial COMMS, fastest I seem to be able to get it, is 900kb/s as I use just one cog to do handle serial and deciphering instructions.
We've also increased the onboard eeprom to 64KBytes to allow more fonts / graphics to be pre-loaded onto board, for later recall, ie, say you had a pic chip with a small amount of memory, you could pre-store your data on the eeprom with multiple pic program uploads to it, then just recall it with the main pic program that didn't have the graphics stored on it
so storing and retreiving data from eeprom is also going to be added to the comms cog.

Also, Sorry the forum has been quiet for a little while, I've been mega busy with work, which has taken all my free time up. ;(
