Gert Van Loo has just open-sourced the files for a new VGA adapter that plugs into the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi Model B+. You can find the source files on GitHub<\/a>. The adapter, which was first covered on the RasPi.TV blog<\/a>\u00a0is not generally available to buy, so it’s hoped that someone out there will get together a group of people to buy them in bulk (single PCBs being a bit expensive). If you\u00a0are<\/em> interested in getting hold of one or more adapters, perhaps you could leave a comment on this blog\u00a0post and we’ll see what we can do about production. It’s great that Gert has thought about surface-mounted and through-hole resistors – it means that it would be possible for an amateur to put one together.<\/p>\n

If you’d like more information, you can read about the board over at the Raspberry Pi Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
