Arduino Tre - Connection to VGA monitor #1128

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
As far as I know, the new Arduino Tre is based on the same processor as the 
BeagleBone Black and shares several architectural solutions with it.
Among other similarities, it has an HDMI interface, don't know if it has a 
micro-HDMI connector or other.

I think it would be reasonable to expect that many users would like to connect 
Arduino Tre to an old VGA monitor, and they will need a converter.

As far as I know, the BeagleBone Black requires a converter with separate power 
(via USB cable, for instance). The Raspberry Pi, on the other side, that has an 
HDMI interface as well, works also with simpler and cheaper converters without 
external power, and this possibility might be somehow a plus.

It would be desirable, in my opinion, to give Arduino Tre the possibility to 
connect to a VGA monitor via converters like those for Raspberry Pi, and not 
only via externally powered converters, like the BeagleBone Black. Unless it 
already has this possibility. Has it?

Just my two cents.
