Arduino VGA Switcher. The VGA to AV Converter shown above left is available from dozens of retailers. It converts a VGA signal from a computer to an AV and S Video signal for use by a TV, monitor or. PC video capture device. It also provides an un altered feedthrough for the VGA signal. A common use is with a CCTV Digital Video Recorder DVR. Many of these units only provide a VGA output and, optionally, HDMI to a monitor but an additional AV output can be useful, for example, to. TV with an AV input or to feed a video capture device in a PC which nearly always involves AV to USB capture hardware or a PCIe card with AV inputs Such as the Osprey range of analogue video capture cards. This is a sixteen bit ADC that will greater improve your Arduino Measurement Resolution. Includes a pin outs, tutorial and sketch. On most Arduino boards, SDA data line is on analog input pin 4, and SCL clock line is on analog input pin 5. On the newer Arduino UNO The V3 pinout, the SCL. The VGA to AV Video Converter unit has a useful button on its front panel called ZOOM. VGA screen to the AV output or each of the four corners. CCTV DVRs frequently display video from up to four cameras on screen at the same time so the ZOOM button can be used to select either the full screen or one of the four camera images, as shown below. The VGA image always passes through. DVR but I wanted to automate the ZOOM button pressing process so that the AV image could be cycled either on a timer or even switched remotely via a webpage. For completeness, I also wanted to retain the ZOOM button. Inside the VGA to AV Converter. To gain access to the converters PCB, its necessary to remove four screws on the underside. Its also necessary to carefully peel off the label surrounding the button panel to allow the buttons. The idea is to pick up the connections on the ZOOM button and wire them to a small socket for connection to an external switching circuitmicroprocessor or relay. The ZOOM button is the one on the bottom right corner in this photo. The ZOOM button in fact, all of the buttons has one side permanently connected to ground and. As youll see, there isnt much room anywhere around the edges for an additional socket. This close up of the bottom right hand corner of the PCB shows spare pads where an LED could be.

This tutorial covers how to interface and get it work a Monochrome 7pin SSD1306 0. OLED display module with Arduino Uno. R2. 0 is a 1k resistor connected between one side of the LED on the square solder pad and the main power input socket. The other pad for the LED connects to ground. This is clearly an unused POWER ON LED and the pads are ideal for our purpose. As the photo below shows. R2. 0 with the soldering iron. This photo shows a 2. LED. This photo shows a 1k resistor soldered between the two non grounded pins one on the pin header and one on the ZOOM button. A resistor is used to prevent potential damage to the output of an external microprocessor in case the ZOOM button is pressed while the microprocessor output is HIGH. Note that the electronics within the converter operates at 3.

Note that I marked the polarity of the two header pins as its obviously important to avoid connecting the external microprocessor output to the ground pin.

The VGA to AV Converter shown above left is available from dozens of retailers. It converts a VGA signal from a computer. Nice sensor. Here is an Arduino Sketch that lights it up Adapted from Pololus Board Since I use 45 for signal, the next pins 23 can be used for power. The Arduino Switching Hardware. The basic switching circuit is shown above. I used an Arduino Nano with an ATMEL mega. ATmega. 32. 8 because, as the. USB connection to a PC running custom internet server software, its more cost effective and convenient to use a standard. Nano module which includes the USB hardware. The internet server software running on the PC serves a continuously updated image captured from the VGA to AV converter to a webpage and listens for switching requests from the webpage. The switching requests take the form of HTTP POST requests, when a visitor presses a SUBMIT button, and consist of a 4 digit code key. If the requested. USB port to the Arduino switching hardware. It should be noted that this isnt a secure transaction because the necessary code key is in plain view in the webpages source code. However, the server software does provide for standard Username Password HTML authentication for the webpage should this be required. If the key matches a user settable one configured in the Arduino software, an Arduino OUTPUT sends a short 5v pulse to the 2. N7. 00. 0 Mosfet. This simulates pressing the ZOOM button on the VGA to. AV Converter which, in turn, cycles to the next quadrants image as explained above. As the Arduino software is so simple, it seemed sensible to add a few extra features. So I added a simple push button to replicate pressing the VGA to AV. ZOOM button and an adjustable timer to cycle through the quadrant images automatically at a pre set interval. I also wanted a way to change the code key in the Arduino software so that more than one unit could be used at the same time without having to program bespoke code keys into each unit at construction time. Both the adjustable timer and the ability to manually set the code key meant that some sort of display was needed so the project had suddenly expanded. Download the PCB artwork in PDF format.
