The Arduino VGA Shield will be, as the project name may indicate, an Arduino shield that outputs VGA video. The board itself could be based around:
- 4D Systems µVGA-PICASO-MD1 module ($54)
- Very expensive
- Some complaints about reliability
- Only talks RS232
- Propeller chip with custom code ($8)
- Cheap
- Unsure how high resolution would be possible given generating VGA video from an MCU
- Custom FPGA solution ($?)
- More work than any other solution
- Similar cost to propeller chip, likely
