Serial PAL TV

Finally I’ve finished my Serial TV project.
It uses a PIC18F4620 running 32 Mhz (8 Mhz crystal + HS PLL), so I’m using the EasyPIC5 for the testing. It is also possible to use other PIC’s, but the available TV Pixel lines will be reduced, caused by the limited RAM.

First I’m going to give alot of the credit to Bruno from Micro-Examples, as I’ve used his PAL TV Code: http://www.micro-examples.com/public/microex-navig/doc/089-pic-pal-tv

Then I’ve wrote some extra code, to make it possible, to write text strings to the television, via a serial communication.

You can download the MikroC project here: Serial TV – MikroC

Here is some pictures of the project:
