hip gear screen pad question or alternative suggestion?

[neverused]

Has anyone ever used this pin out successfully? I'd like to use the RBG portion, but Segasonicfan never posted a follow up result. Basically, I am looking for a small (2.5"-3.5", maybe up to 4"), non-psone screen that accepts RGB for my FC Twin project. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey Folks,
I've been working on a solid pinout for the PCB for a few days now and fiinally compiled a finished pic:



I'm very sure of everything except the adjustable ground input...that actually is tied to VCC1 according to my datasheet but it makes more sense to be adjustable ground as shown here: http://www.bquach.com/images/gamegrrl/pinout.jpg

As you will notice there are RGB inputs on the board! I am going to do some testing on this later because my screen broke sadly. This board is also capable of S-video which I will also be looking into as soon as I get a new screen.

It may work. I used it yesterday, and video showed up, but it looked like my backlight had been dimmed a lot. I've only used this pinout for composite video, not rgb, and power. But composite definitely works on it.

My mess-up might have been because I only fed 9 volts into the screen, maybe I should feed it the full 12. Eh, whatevz... if it doesn't work I'll I have to do the LED mod anyway.

For an alternate screen, DX has some cheap Pustom brand screens, apparently easy to hack. Unfortunately no RGB, but I don't know if it matters a lot on such a small screen.

I was looking for RGB specifically, because I have an FC Twin and I'm trying to avoid the separate power/ video board, but I think I will end up getting the 3" Pustom if DX will let me actually buy it. The DX site seems to be having a lot of trouble lately.

They have a mirror up (www2.dealextreme.com), but wait till they finish the upgrade, only the most popular items are there right now on the mirror.

I got impatient and ordered the Pustom, DX is just taking forever to ship the stupid thing.
