Can I connect Pi to a VGA monitor ?

mgt6910
mgt6910 over 13 years ago

I don't have a HD monitor (the TV is out of bounds....), so can I connect the Pi's  RCA  or DVI output to

a VGA screen via an adaptor ?   I've found this RCA/VGA converter, but it is designed to work in the other direction ..

    I found it suprisingly easy.  Follow the link to eLinux and create a user account using the link at the top right corner of each page.  When you're logged in, [edit] links appear next to each section of a document.  When you click on an [edit] link, the ASCII source text for that section appears in a text editing box.  For most edits, you can just copy and paste existing text to get the formatting.  At the bottom of the editing page are buttons to preview and then submit your change.  It will ask you a very simple Linux-oriented question to filter out automatic spam.

     

    I assume the eLinux wiki software saves everything so it's always possible to get back to an earlier version if someone screws up, but as long as you preview before submitting you should be fine.  I've never created a new page from scratch myself, but I've made lots of changes to existing pages, especially BeagleBoard.
