Dead smart... I like this idea

This is really out of the box thinking...

kipper2k · 30 January 2021, 02:01

here are the boards...

Board design is based on hoglet and c0pperdragons project. 1 benefit of this design is if you already have a device that uses hdmi then you can also use this on the same monitor which will save you from using 2 monitors

Once tested, will you be releasing the files, or just selling them complete?

Hi, both. I was actually surprised that it worked, i was expecting at least 1 more revision to get it working.

seb132 · 30 January 2021, 06:15

I’m volunteering for a couple of these (red PCB possible?) when available. Fully assembled if possible... not in a rush.
The welding on the Amiga I should be able to do it.

Great job, K!!
Do you still have a website?

Ahh, that makes sense, clever design. Does it need it's own power source to run, maybe from the floppy drive header?

Can you use it with a Vampire 600 or does make sense considering it has it's own hdmi output?

kipper2k · 30 January 2021, 13:58

i designed it to take the 5volts from the denise chip directly, however i left the option for people to use the 5v/gnd header to obtain 5v from another part of the amiga if they wish. There is also the option to supply the 3.3v supply from either the pi or the amiga via the small regulator on the adapter board. Your choice, in this case i elected to add the regulator. Rhe vampire needs 2 monitors as the whdload games etc need to be fed via RGB. In theory if you play a game via vampire you would just need to change hdmi input on the same monitor (some monitors may be able to handle mixed inputs)

Is it just me that I can't see any photo on kipper's posts?

kipper2k · 30 January 2021, 16:18

can you not see any at all?

btp · 30 January 2021, 18:18

Nope, no images are showing up here

nikosidis · 30 January 2021, 18:43

No images here either?

If you're viewing the https versions of this site most browsers won't fetch the images from the http version of kipper2k's site.

kipper2k · 30 January 2021, 20:43

mabbe i will start using 3rd party host

kipper2k · 30 January 2021, 20:49

Yep, you are correct! I've checked again with and without https in my browser. I can see the images fine when using http but nothing appears when browsing with https.

Lol.
Yeah third party image storage is the way...

Indeed it does, the extension is just an extension.

As your work is based on hoglet67's work, which is released under GPL3, will you release the schematics/board layout for your modifications as open source?

seb132 · 01 February 2021, 04:41

@Niklas: he said yes a few post above...

TroyWilkins · 10 February 2021, 13:21

I'll be interested in one of these for my A600 when they're available!
