Add HDMI video to an Amiga with a Raspberry Pi Zero #Amiga #RaspberryPi #VintageComputing
The Amiga Love Twitter feed posts about this Raspberry Pi Zero-based video card for vintage Amiga computers with video slots (above in an Amiga 2000).
The information links to this recent GitHub repo by user Bloodmosher. A software image for the Pi Zero is included.
The project above builds on the c0pperdragon Amiga-Digital-Video project which uses a Pi Zero to add HDMI video to Amiga 500 machines (below).
These are fabulous developments!
Ed. note: If anyone knows of a HDMI out emulating an 8 bit IBM PC VGA card, please drop me a note on Twitter at @anne_engineer.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
