Picking video off of a Toaster's mainboard?

Post by offensive_jerk »

I've been trying to get this answered for quite some time. I want to know how to get video off of the mainboard somewhere. I don't need any links to RGB or anything crazy, just simple composite video will do.

Again, This is for a Toaster, Not a Top-Loader.

Need video signals from somewhere other than the RF box area. That piece is going to be removed.

If you remove the rf modulator, you have to rebuild a video circuit. There is a diagram in Ben's book and it might be on the site somewhere.
Meh, I don't post much.

Dude, I saw the topic and thought you wanted to watch video coming out of a real toaster. :shock: I was thinking,"Man, what an idiot!" After I read the thread I got it. Now who's the idiot? :lol: XD

Trust me. It's a lot easier than it sounds. All the parts can be bought at RadioShack and its just a little bit of very simply soldering.

Do you have a link to the circuit?

Also do you have info on the 5 pins where the rf box is soldered to?

Or if your feeling extreme: I recall crude video coming from pin 21 (or 22) put that trough an amp. Tada!
