The ultimate VGA to SCART adapter
buttersoft:
Thanks for the replies! I'm, using dedicated RGB sets like PVM's, so i won't need the SCART blanking voltage :)
I always like socketing IC's so i can fiddle later, but i hadn't thought of it in this case. That seems like a good idea. I'm no programmer, but I'll see what i need to do to get into the code - it's in C?

Then you may consider the previous version of the adapter. It uses a smaller and cheaper PIC. However, you will have to use this hack if you also want the LEDs.

Yes. You can find the source code in the project page. Do you want me to change anything and recompile it?

These projects are fascinating! The only drawback using pics is that you are in the need for programmers... Could you suggest a cheap programmer for pic16f18313?

EDIT: the TL866 variants do not work for this project, beware!
TL866ii? It's $60AUD, which isn't nothing, but it does so many different chips (including 27C322 roms with an adapter, used in Amiga, SNES and Genesis roms). That's the only time i've needed an adapter, everything else has worked immediately.
Thanks, Gambaman, i'll give the previous version a look. I'll take a look at the code and see if i can figure it out, but if not i'll give you a yell. Cheers :)

A friend of mine uses a cheap PICKIT3 Programmer.
