Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base - RP2040 DVI Multimedia Board

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
Pimoroni Pico DV Demo Base - RP2040 DVI Multimedia Board — Adafruit — 5674

Intrigued by the possibilities of VGA Demo Base but no longer own a D-sub cable? No problem! This board is an all-digital conversion of Raspberry Pi's VGA reference design, great if you want to start hacking on video and/or audio output from a Raspberry Pi Pico and piping it…
