Hello Again, World. Let's VGA Everything.

A project log for VGA Graphics Over SPI and Serial - VGATonic

I'm back for round 2 after VGATonic version 1.0.

I finally got the motivation back to complete the framebuffer driver when I picked up a Raspberry Pi 2 B. Here is last year's effort (and, ahem, this month's accomplishment) running a game I think you may have seen before:

There's lots of work still to go, and we're going to move in an interesting direction at first: getting it to run on 'slower' hardware. Not every board can spit out reliable 62.5 MHz SPI, so it seems like aiming lower is better than higher, in this case!

Follow along and maybe we'll hook VGAtonic up to some really esoteric stuff by the end of Hackaday Prize 2015?
