But takes it a step further and pairs the GBS-8100 with a separate composite to VGA converter. In the most basic form, once you’ve soldered the pins of the DRAM chip up to the plug board interface, you’d technically be done. By mapping out the pins and studying how the video output is corrupted by grounding them out or connecting them to each other, he’s been able to come up with fairly repeatable “recipes” for different effects. While other video converters have all-in-one chipsets that are much harder to work with, explains that the separate EM636165TS DRAM chip on the GBS-8100 provides an ideal spot to tap in and wreak some technicolor havoc. While we wouldn’t call it an easy modification, the circuit documentation and demonstration video below go a long way to making it as accessible as possible to new players. If you’re interested in circuit bent video but not sure where to start, the excellent guide has come up with for modifying the cheap and readily available GBS-8100 VGA to composite converter would be a great first step.

Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged composite video, television, tv If you’ve been working on your own retro display hack, be sure to let us know. Hacking on old-school TVs is a popular pastime around these parts, it seems. It’s a great example of how simply opening up some electronics and poking around can teach you something. was able to test the TV with a NES clone outputting composite video and voila, it worked! then went further, adding an audio input and installing standard RCA jacks to make it easier to use the input with more modern electronics. The adapter board allows the Hitachi TV to accept a composite video input. The device turned out to be a Pickes and Trout TVM-04 adapter, designed in the 1970s for hooking a computer up to a television for use as a monitor. Inside, a little PCB bearing the mark “TVM.04” was inside, bearing a handful of components. Running the output of an RF modulator to the connector didn’t net an image on the screen, even though the same method worked when hooked up to the antenna inputs. On the rear was an obviously hacked-in F-type connector, paired with a toggle switch, both unlabelled. He was surprised upon getting it there that it had, in addition to the VHF and UHF antenna inputs, a mysterious extra connector on the back. found a nice old black & white TV in a thrift store, and as so many of us would, he decided to take it home. Projects like this are a fantastic example of what’s possible when a community works together to truly push the envelope.Ĭontinue reading “ESP32 Clock Pushes Outrun Graphics Over Composite” → Posted in classic hacks, Microcontrollers, Video Hacks Tagged clock, composite video, ESP32, Outrun, vaporwave The pioneering work did to get video out of the ESP32 is something of a given, but he also sends a hat tip to for his collection of 8-bit game console emulators written for the microcontroller. In the documentation, calls out a few open source projects which were instrumental to getting his clock off the ground. Once everything is powered up, you’ll be able to configure the clock with a web-based interface. One goes to ground, and the other goes to the chip’s analog pin.
Want to add a little vaporwave vibe to your own workbench? Assuming you’ve already got a 80s style CRT, all you need is an ESP32 and two wires stuck into the composite video port. Given the vintage of this particular animation, the neon skyline and infinite scrolling grid certainly feel like a perfect fit.

Though his version doesn’t necessarily share code with all the previous iterations, does credit the developers who have pulled off similar visual tricks going all the way back to 1979. Specifically this is a variant of the “Dali” clock, where each digit seems to melt and morph into its successor. This could be fed into whatever device you wish, but given the 80’s synthwave style it’s pumping out, you’ll probably want to find a suitably retro CRT to do it justice. Rather than driving a traditional physical display, the microcontroller is instead generating a composite video signal of an animated digital clock. We’ve covered plenty of clocks powered by the ESP32, but this one from is really something special.
