LM317 variable regulator
3.3 regular may be substitited with little modification. I did not have any on-hand, so I used an extra LM317. If a LDO regulator is used, the 3.3v supply can draw off the 5v supply, decreasing heat.

Perforated circuit board 4 by 6 inches
Other sizes will work. Current design cut the board in half and connected together with a ribbon cable, with the intention of working on a modular system. In the end, it would have been better to have kept a single board. PC Board design is pending

VGA Monitor
Current software syncs well on each one I've tested. Compact 4x3 LCD monitor recommended. Widescreen is OK, if squashing/letterbox is tolerable, or software is modified to assume a 16:9 aspect ratio.

SD card socket
Micro SD card could also be used, if attention is paid to the pinouts. I salvaged my socket off of an old USB card reader I no longer needed.
