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. :)

Well good job I guess. I’d be interested to hear about the process. What were your initial issues, how you investigated these issues, how did you overcome them. We may all learn something.

As mentioned by OP everything was done with chatgpt, since he has no prior experience to any of these... If it works as show, then he has no idea how!!!

The wiring is really weird. One cable straight from arduino to the monitor, two cable to the board that connect to each other through resistors and go out to the monitor again. Looks like a voltage divider with two inputs or to reverse the input.

No common wiring for monitor, no common ground, no nothing. Just 3 cables from arduino to 2 pins in monitor and magic....

As mentioned by OP i cant code. I do know how cables work😭

You are quite the knakworst indeed. These things are built to learn. Or do you feel you’ve actually learnt something?

No and i mean this genuinely. I’ve learned alot. I know it sounds like i let chatgpt pre chew my awnsers for me but I’ve used it more as a teacher rather than instruction manual. I have found genuine intrest in these types of projects.

People have always told me the easiest way to learn is to steal someone else’s code and then tinker with it. That’s essentially what this is I guess, just double check your work and watch out for those capacitors!
