New XY monitor kit on the way.

A project log for BUILD an ARCADE XY VECTOR MONITOR

I set out to build a working 13"-27" CRT Arcade XY Vector Monitor. UPDATE!!! 5" and 9" monitors too.

UPDATE!!! Long overdue. Some very exciting things are happening. I've complete the XY deflection, High voltage section and crt driver for a plug and play kit that will work for most 5"-9" crt's and ordered the parts for a small run. James Sweet has also finished his vector daughter board. A board that plugs onto a cheap Altera Cyclone FPGA board and so far lets you run Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe for true hardware goodness. I've added a couple pictures of the prototype deflection and James FPGA board running on a vectrex crt. The screenshot is terrible, but trust me it looks amazing in person.
