Hello,

I'm trying to redo the project with a LVDS slab, however, I'm having trouble with the "OSERDES" block, I don't really know how to configure it to get the same thing.
Are the files available somewhere?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If it is economical to not use FPGAs then I will not use them. So, the solution is to use VGA/HDMI to LVDS boards, if that is what I am hearing?[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-07785dbf-8f0a-4087-9cfa-f02bbece6c28/contentimage_5F00_930.png:16:16] I want to teach my students the cheapest way.

Oh my, this is great! I wouldn't have any interest in old laptop screens

but it serves as a great avenue to understanding the use of FPGA in

a case where it would be nearly impossible to do this any other way.

There seems to be a great many smaller video screens available

since they mandated backup cameras on automobiles. That might

be more interesting to me, or at least more available.

Good on ya!

Job well done! Have anyone complied a list of the equipment need to bring all of this together? I have 8 or 10 old laptop sitting in my garage donated to me by nonprofit organization. I train young girls and boys in after school program and churches in my community on the Raspberry pi, I can now put those old laptop to use now. I can be reach at nealysr@yahoo.com thanks for the post.

Dang - nice job! That's awesome [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-07785dbf-8f0a-4087-9cfa-f02bbece6c28/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

This is your new IoT screen [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-07785dbf-8f0a-4087-9cfa-f02bbece6c28/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Very nice. I’ve had it on my project list to try to use screens from broken laptops - just for fun and learning.

You’ve inspired me to try it later this year. Look forward to your next post.
