VGA
About the VGA PCB
VGA is an open source PCB design by hasecilu, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 41.9 × 27.9 mm, with 16 components from 7 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 14 resistors and 2 connectors.
From the project
This is a simple PCB board for interfacing a FPGA with SIL header to a VGA connector to add video functionalities to your projects
Please note that the VGA board showed in the next pictures are from an older version and that's the reason there is a cable for connecting ground. The new version has ground pins on both sides to avoid use cables (generally ground pins are at the begin/end of one SIL header in the development boards).

VGA: common questions
How big is the VGA PCB?
The VGA measures 41.9 × 27.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the VGA?
16 components, from 7 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the VGA design files?
From the hasecilu/VGA repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the VGA design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with hasecilu. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
