did you photograph or archive the details of your build? I'm interested

Very nice! I'm pretty handy but not enough to know where to start. I might be wrong but I'd bet there are a number of people who would be willing to part with some cash to get a how do doc or video.

First,collect all of the part,such as pcb,display card,3.5''LCD,usb encoder board,switchs...... you will find the way:)

I forget to take photos of making process...,but I could show a few photos of internal structure to you .

 

That would be fantastic

Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die.

as far as video signal, judging by the visible VGA cable i would guess its a viewport.

 

i am however interested to find out what lcd+controller combo was used here. 3.5" LCDs are abundant on ebay, but for some reason the moment anything better then composite out is required, like VGA, the price immediately jumps north of 100$ ...

 

very reasnoable 5 inch one , with HDMI even, i don't get why such difference

Hi Lebor,

 

Wonderful work! CDU looks amazing. Can you please tell me what 3.5" LCD in particular you used and how are you getting the signal to it? Is it Arduino + DCS-BIOS?

not Arduino + DCS-BIOS,I used DCS Easy Monitor ConfiguratorV2.0 and helios .

I used 3.5LCD,and with VGA output's controller board,5''LCD is too large,The HDMI output is not necessary,VGA output is enough.

You will need to look closer at what those 3.5" arduino LCD actually are.

With either SPI or 8bit interface you get very low draw speeds (think several seconds to redraw entire screen) and with available lcd libraries your arduino code can only draw geometrical shapes and text of set font.

 

Im not sure what "theory" you had in mind, but those screen can not output live image from PC.

I agree with agrasyuk, for a 320x240 display I would look into something with more processing power and memory. The framebuffer for a 320x240 display will need at least 9600 bytes, which is too much for the 2048 bytes of RAM in the Arduino. This means you would probably not be able to use most of the display libraries out there.

 

I don't want to claim that it is impossible to do with an Arduino, but it would require a lot of work and may still end up being too slow in the end.

 

The SPI or 8-bit parallel interface is not a problem in itself, it is the low processing power of the Arduino that is the problem. It can't drive those interfaces fast enough.
