      serialVGA (Serial VGA Monitor Driver board for Arduino/Raspberry Pi)

      The serialVGA board drives a VGA Monitor at 800 x 600 pixel resolution to allow you to display 100 characters by 50 rows of text. All control commands and text to be displayed are sent via a standard serial TTL connection at a selectable baud rate.

      Additionally, create up to 9 individual "windows" in which you can display information independently. Each window wraps and scrolls automatically, has optional titles and borders and allows the placing of text at a fixed position within each window.

      Through one simple serial TTL connection you can create a complex multi-window display to show a large amount of information.

      Features

      • Drives a VGA Monitor at 800x600 pixels @ 75Hz
      • 64 foreground / background colours
      • Displays 100 characters x 50 lines
      • Controlled via simple Serial TTL commands
      • Baud rates 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
      • Use one full size window or create up to 9 mini windows each with optional borders and title
      • Automatic text wrapping and scrolling within each window
      • Set position of text within a window
      • Can be used as a Parallax Propeller development board

       

      Windows

      You can use the full screen of the VGA display without creating any windows or sending any commands. Just send data at the appropriate baud rate and it will display on screen. Text will wrap at 100 characters and the screen display will scroll when text gets to the bottom of the screen.

      But Windows are very useful. You can create up to 9 seperate (no-overlapping) windows each with their own (optional) borders and title. The text displayed in a window wraps and scrolls automatically. Windows can be cleared and text positioned within a window.

      There are a number of ways to use windows:

      • Display raw data scrolling in one window (e.g. GPS data)
      • Display calculated data in another window at fixed positions
      • Display entered commands in a command window
      • Display header and footer information
