Board Assembly

A project log for RA8875 VGA

Let's use a LCD driver to drive a VGA monitor. It sounds fun.

I'm assembling a prototype for this board, which *hopefully* will provide working VGA output:

Circuit board assembly on my kitchen table

I'm missing just three components, which includes the video DAC, so sadly I will not be able to test until tomorrow.  I just want to get it rather close to assembled today, to get ahead of it.  I created my cart on mouser, and forgot to check out, until I realized I was missing something; you know how it goes.

I'm configuring this one for VGA only, so I'm not installing any of the LCD circuitry, like the backlight driver or LCD/CTP connectors.  I'm going to connect it to my #Arduino Desktop, so the ESP32 will not be needed either.  Altogether, this assembly will be rather simple.  Soon I'll also assemble one for LCD only; hopefully everything works perfectly.
