Title: bit disappointed
Post by: Janosik on August 30, 2014, 06:05:14 AM
I recently became the (very proud) owner of a Duinomite-Mega.
I 'm really pleased with it, except for one thing: its B/W monochrome screen output.
Is there any way (extension board perhaps) to make it display at least some color?

Tnx,
Janko.

Maybe Olimex mod-VGA?

Or see http://geoffg.net/maximite.html

Hi John. Thanks for answering my question.  ;)

I'v just sent an email to Olimex, asking if the mod-VGA can be connected to the Duinomite Mega.
I'll post their answer as soon as I get it.

And yes... I've compared lots of boards like Arduino, Maximite, Duinomite, etc...
In the end, I decided to buy the Duinomite Mega, but I didn't know about the monochrome output.
If I had known, I'dd probably have bought the Maximite Color...

Greetings,
Janko.
