QL-VGA Case

[bwinkel67]

Oh, that looks nice. Making the STL file available for anyone to print would be ideal. I have decided for now to forgo getting one of those SCART to HDMI converters since the one I got form Amazon is broken -- the seller refunded me the money but I have a broken unit that doesn't give an HDMI output and I don't think those are fixable (it's got two surface mount IC's and one is basically a LCD TV chip and the other an HDMI out chip and I don't think they can be replaced.

Might as well wait and get a QL-to-VGA card that was specifically designed for the QL and won't have screen issues. Of course now my super-nifty SCART cable I made is going to go to waste.

I had also looked online for a small TV/Monitor with SCART but then of course, they will likely not be ATSC. I don't think anyone made SCART for US markets...

I had to iron out one last problem with the FPGA code for the production version, but things are progressing:

You're looking at 3654 hand soldered joints, not counting the cables I made It's not quite as bad as it sounds, I keep investing my earnings in good equipment and acquired some good techniques along the way, but still, this is work
I will distribute a few boards to users within Germany first and then we'll see where it goes from there and what the situation with the world in general will be.

My CDO just kicked in...where is the 30th one?

I had to send two FPGA boards to Dilwyn to supply a bug-fix, therefore I have one less than VGA boards.

Lesson #56: never send anything to Dilwyn to test it. He breaks it.

In that one single instance it wasn’t your fault
