MicroMod Big Display Carrier Board

They said it couldn't be done and perhaps we shouldn't have but we just couldn't resist... The MicroMod Big Display enables the driving of HDMI signal pairs enabling microcontrollers to display graphics on a large DVI HDMI monitor or TV. To be clear there are very few microcontrollers capable of the complex and high speed waveforms needed to produce HDMI signals. Currently the RP2040 is the only MicroMod Processor Board that is compatible. That said hooking a dual core Cortex M0 to a 60" TV just makes us giggle. The Big Display also has a SD socket wired to the SDIO bus on MicroMod. This is compatible with the RP2040 although only 1-bit read/write is currently supported. Luke Wren has done a fabulous job writing up his DVI work with the RP2040. You can read all about it here with some additional example images here. Of course if you want real graphics from a microcontroller checkout James Bowman's Dazzler. It's an incredibly powerful proper HDMI shield for Arduino. We do not plan to regularly produce SparkX products so get them while they’re hot! Experimental Product: SparkX products are rapidly produced to bring you the most cutting edge technology as it becomes available. These products are tested but come with no guarantees. Live technical support is not available for SparkX products. Head on over to our forum for support or to ask a question.
