Finally messed around with VGA output. Had some color issues at first but I find that I like the VGA color code system better. Although it's only 6-bit color, it is easy to make a color because the bits all align in a way that makes sense. blue is lower 2 bits, then 2 bits for green, then 2 for red. Easy.
Got an OK picture of the new NGT20 board. Too bad, my phone camera isn't great.
Its stacked on an arduino.
I worked on displaying NyanCat on the monitor. Added a keyboard to the arduino and now he moves! Came out good:
The NyanCat is a sprite uploaded to the shield from the arduino, then easily displayed many times very quickly.
Also, I got an arduino library underway. I plan on making it so the library can generate a sprite on demand, while the arduino is running. Would make coding SO much easier. The NyanCat in a c hex array is not nice for a programmer.
Will add the arduino library's GitHub to the project.
