I have a few questions about the E-blocks PS/VGA-board.
1. Can the ps2/vga-board be used with the EB006 PIC programmer board ?
2. Are there macro's available to program the board ?
3. Wich PIC should be used ?
4. Where can I find the test files SVGA.hex and Keyboard.hex ?

Hello

In asnwer to your questions.

1) Yes the VGA/PS2 board is compatible with the EB006 but you will probably require an 18F chip running at high speed (48MHz PLL) to manage the VGA and PS2 functionality.

2) No there are no macro available at the moment as the code to drive these functions is very timing critical and has to be set up carefully.

3) I would recommend an 18F device capable of 48MHz operation. Alternativly an ARM or an AVR would be quite capable as they run faster then PICs.

4) I have attached the current test files.
