PIS-0062

This Gert VGA 666 board is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi Model B+, Pi2, and Pi3 (will not work with Model A/B as the additional GPIO pins on the Model B+ are required). It is an open source hardware design recently released publicly by Gert van Loo who was one of the hardware engineers that was instrumental in the initial design of the original Raspberry Pi. This is a neat and very easy way to utilize a VGA screen/monitor with your Raspberry Pi, it is also far cheaper than an HDMI to VGA adapter or similar. The VGA connection is driven natively in hardware over the GPIO pins (using a parallel interface) and uses around the same CPU load as the HDMI connection on board. It is capable of displaying 1080p60 VGA video with no CPU load. It is also possible to drive this interface at the same time as the HDMI connection, so a dual screen set up is also possible.Kit Includes:1 x Gert VGA 666 PCB
