PIKSEL

The TInyVGA board is a very small (30×45 mm) PCB board which generates a VGA signal using a PIC microprocessor.

This is a timelapse animation of the “Generating VGA signals” workshop given by Arjan Scherpenisse on November 22nd, 2009 at the Piksel09 festival. It was created using Toonloop, the live stop motion animation software by Alexandre Quessy also presented at the festival.
