About Me
Hi,
My name is Thomas Jespersen.
Lets start from the beginning, or you know, from where I got my keen interest in electronics:
I started programming in Visual Basic 6 when I was 8, and then at an age of 13 my interest in electronics began. At my 13 years birthday I got my first solderiron, and some Velleman kits.
Then at my 14 years birthday I got my first PIC programmer, from Velleman. I made a code in PIC Basic Pro, programmed it, and tested it on my breadboard – it was a very exciting moment.
In the spring of 2008 I bought my first real “Development Kit” from mikroElektronika, and I have never regretted that I’ve bought it.
Later on I’ve bought many different addons, other development kits, or made my own circuits – and that’s what I’m going to show you own this blog!
Best Regards

Hi,
I hope you dont mind me asking, and will be able to help me!
I notice you have had success with the PIC PAL Library from Bruno @ Micro Examples, I haven’t tried constructing this project yet, I have, however, tried constructing the PIC PAL Super Imposer project, and I have not been able to get it to work, I get a lot of “camera roll”, I was just wondering if you had managed to get it to work at all, or know how to use the PIC PAL as an overlay device?

Hi Wlksey.
About the OSD (Super Imposer project), I tried that before making the other project, as I thought it would be easier, as it did only require a PIC12F (8-pin).
But I was wrong… I connected it as descriped, but nothing happened! After alot of testing, rewiring and code-debugging, I concluded that the problem maybe had something to do with the input signal! So I started making the “larger project”, which made the signal itself…
So no, I never got the OSD to work – so no, I’m sorry, I don’t know how to use the PIC PAL library as an overlay device, which is OSD!
Best Regards

Ok, thank you for replying.
I was having a look at the library, if I dont “clear” the screen, connect the input to the output would that work as an overlay or do you think it would break the signal?
I had to change the CLIP_LEVEL from 300-0 for the OSD to display anything, but the sync is all jittery!
Do you have any information about using an LM1881 with a PIC as a OSD at all?
Regards
Wilksey
First, I haven’t worked with the ML1881, so I can’t help you there…
I don’t think connecting the Input and the output would break the signal – but I don’t think there will be any overlay… The input will be the same as the output!
