Replacing a Laptop LCD With a Raspberry Pi Zero (Part 2)
This episode is sponsored by PCBWay https://www.pcbway.com
Let's use a Raspberry Pi Zero and the RGB to HDMI project to convert a CGA signal into something a modern LCD can understand. This is the third option to replace the horrible LCD on the Amstrad PPC with a modern one. And of course, we need to figure out how to fit everything back inside the case. I'm really pleased with the final result!
