Raspberry Pi Full Size Cab w\Arcade Monitor
lettuce:
Just reading up a bit more on the Raspberry Pi and notice this in the FAQ section...
"What display can I use?
There is composite and HDMI out on the board, so you can hook it up to an old analogue TV, to a digital TV or to a DVI monitor (using a cheap adapter for the DVI). There is no VGA support, but adaptors are available, although these are relatively expensive.
Why is there no VGA support?
The chip specifically supports HDMI. VGA is considered to be an end-of-life technology, so supporting it doesn’t fit with our plans at the moment."
They say that VGA is end of life tech yet they include a composite socket, VGA option is ALOT more versatile than just a signal composite socket not to mention Superior video quality, you can get VGA to Scart, VGA to VGA, VGA to CGA, VGA to DVI etc cables so i cant understand for the life of me why they have decided to leave out a basic connection type as VGA. Hopefully revision C will include at least pins or solder points on the PCB where you can get an R,G,B and sync signal from.
