Generating VGA signals

This workshop will introduce participants to the world of VGA signals. Using microcontrollers it is possible to generate such signals with the very simple and cheap PIC microchip.

The microcontroller will be programmed using PIC assembly language, however, assembly coding skills are not required, as pre-programmed chips will be available. However, participants do need some soldering skills. The more adventorous can even use the prepared microcontroller to hook it up to an arduino or I2C chip, so that the VGA signal can be modified using a more powerful computer.

Participants will have to pay EUR 15 for the material cost
