OK, so I saw someone connect their arduino to a TV- anyone done anything similar with the Netduino? -- neonsonicboy

I have done this with the MAX7456 IC. It costs <$20 and can put characters on the screen. I wrote a driver you can download here: http://www.fezzer.co...ormance-driver/

I wrote it on Fez Panda but it doesn't use any Fez-specific libraries.

Very cool!

My ultimate aim though is a 320x240 8-bit, double-buffered frame buffer with hardware tile and sprite support.
I am spec-ing it at 32x32 sprites and 16x16 bg tiles with a single alpha bit for transparency.

Probably powered by a second micro or CPLD / FPGA, think: FrameBufferShield with PAL / NTSC and VGA support.
I'd like to be able to handle a max res of 640x480.

The primary micro would communicate via SPI, upload all GFX (tiles and sprites) and use a command language to control the display:

  • update tilemap
  • move sprite x, y, depth
That would be truly awesome and is going to take me forever to get right :)
