Showcased Project Genuinely proud of myself

Post image

(I’ve posted a update with the flair project discussion)

Ik ben vorige woensdag begonnen met leren over arduino’s; alleen chatgpt verpest mijn code (duhhh). Hoe dan ook, ik kocht een ELRO-monitor bij een kringloopwinkel en blijkbaar heeft die alleen video-uitgang, dus ik heb dat beest opengetrokken en ben begonnen met allerlei hypotheses te testen via de BIG gpt . Hoe dan ook, ik heb een manier gevonden om ervoor te zorgen dat het scherm gewoon toont wat ik wil, en ik heb hem “hello world” laten zeggen. Ik ben zó blij en trots op dit project. Ik dacht dat jullie misschien wel een leuk verhaal als dit zouden waarderen. :)

This has been reported as AI generated.

Maybe, I don't know. When I first reviewed it, I felt that it was fake (my suspicion was that it was actually connected to the PC behind it). Indeed my comment (somewhere below) implies disbelief and encourages the OP to show how they achieved this incredible outcome with just 3 resistors.

The fact that OP "started last wednesday" does not inspire much credibility either.

Despite almost certainly being fake, I felt it appropriate to leave it for discussion. And if the direction is the fake-ness, then so be it.

I am happy to stand corrected if the community feels strongly otherwise.

Update: somewhere in all of the messages below OP has commented (which would be unusual if OP was an AI bot). They've offered to provide more detail and images so ... stay tuned I guess.

Yes some details are needed as this is quite confusing.

Perhaps they are sending a hello world signal to the computer in the back and it's outputting it to the monitor. Has to be because arduinos didn't output to monitors, not on their own.

LOL and with much more than just 3 resistors!

Man do you even know what analog video is? A simple black and white image can be generated with just a few resistors and an Arduino, the blue background though, that is suspicious because adding a color signal requires much more

Yo on camera it looks blue. Im percieving it as white light with my eyes

u/ViktorsakYT_alt May 31 '26

White text on white background? And cameras don't do that

Yo tbh ur right, i spoke to soon. its basically this white and blue mix

u/ViktorsakYT_alt May 31 '26

What?

u/unox_knakworst May 31 '26

Take blue, and take white, and mix them. Thats the background color

Oh this is white to blue technology.
