That is hilariously awesome in the best possible way.

I thought it was going to use the actual WiFi radio to output TV signals (in retrospect that doesn't make sense) but using I2S DMA instead is genius! At 80MHz no less! What a crazy little chip.

Awesome,

Yeah, there is nothing Micro on current modern Microcontrollers.

PSoC can do also DMA to SPI and other peripherals, the 5LP i believe it can do 8 asynchronous DMA transfers while the CPU is doing nothing at all other than setting things up.

Reminds me Ron Popeil's "but wait, there's more...".

...and he didn't even mention anything about his custom carrier board ON A GLASS MICROSCOPE SLIDE. Look close at that 'board'.

This guy is quite clever.
(How do I link a video?)
