How to use SCART for our hobby
Zebidee:
100 ohm 1/2 watt will do.

Anyone have a US source for a SCART male connector? I'm thinking of just buying a SCART-SCART cable from dealextreme and hacking it up. Maybe I can open the connector, if not, it may be a bit more ugly looking.
apfelanni:
better buy a scart plug made for soldering purpose. industrial scart cables often have missing or crap connectors .
i ordered 20 of them some weeks ago. if u dont find any i can send one for shipping tax.

Zebidee:
You can probably get them from a hobby electronics store (Jaycar stocks them in Aust). - worth asking your local store about if you want only one or two, anyway.
if you can get a header with 2mm spades at the back of the pins, then you can use 2mm female quick-connects instead of soldering! Unfortunately, the ads usually wont show this detail and the only way to really be sure is to open them up and have a look.

Austin would be a bit of a trip from Seattle for a couple connectors. :cheers:
If you have a part number for the ones with the QD's anywhere, I'll take a look.
I built a VGA -> DB9 cable the other day (the other option for hooking things up), but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I think the SCART cable is safer since I positively know the inputs for that (SCART is well documented), but if this works I'll probably be set. I've just been too chicken to put a signal into it after reading the warnings about frying things with 31kHz on a 15kHz display.
