Here is the latest version of my VHDL code that uses the LVDS transmitters in the FPGA instead of using external LVDS converter chips. Terry |

Terry, your code works wonderfully on my Spartan 3 board also! I just had to make one modification: I reverted back to the process in your previous version, where you examined the CLK_175 and CLK_25 in the same process. After that everything works correctly: changing colors, intensity, etc. Without this modification I just had some blue and black pixel "noise" on the LCD. Don't know why exactly... But anyway it is super cool!!! Thanks for your help! |

Just made some modified mounting plates, adjusted as per TerrySt's modifications (I derped the design somehow... :P ) I included STEP files for a thicker 3D printable mounting plate that doesn't need standoffs, and the original that can be cut from aluminium plate with the use of 2mm tall standoffs. |

Hey, ltarjanyi75, would you mind releasing your schematics/PCB files if it is all working perfectly? :) Also, how hard would it be, or would it even be possible to get something like the Lattice LCMXO2-256HC-4TG100C working? (I have practically no programming experience however...) I can get them in Akihabara for cheap. :) https://www.latticesemi.com/view_document?document_id=38834 Where is everyone buying their Spartan 3 chips? |

Yes, I can share the details, I just need some more time to fix my design errors and test before that. I quickly checked the datasheet of the family of PLD you sent and I think it could work with one of those also. Here is the brief resource usage summary of the code for Spartan 3 and these fit into the specs: - Number of Slice Flip Flops: 51 - Total Number of 4 input LUTs: 172 - Number of bonded IOBs: 31 - Number of DCMs: 1 These devices also have on-chip flash for configuration, so no external flash would be required if I'm correct. Maybe I will give a try later to check the development tool for this device and try to compile the code... I bought my Spartan 3 chips from Aliexpress, about 8 USD each (+ shippping). Bought 2 of them and they work perfectly. |
