+DrVenkman Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Is it still possible to get the UAV, I would like to get two to four more. Message Bryan. Last I heard, he's waiting on another batch due in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Whoops! Tapped +5v from the wrong inductor. Had to crank chroma on that PVM, but then I think I have to do that for most of the stuff I input to this guy. Something isn't right. I'll have a look at your install pics.

ckrtech Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 OK. Appreciate any feedback or test requests. Out of town at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 OK. Appreciate any feedback or test requests. Out of town at the moment. If you get a chance, I'd be curious to see what you get running this program. Or, just a simple GTIA shade bar generator in BASIC. Usually bad output means one or more of the LUM lines aren't right.

ckrtech Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Ok. Probably have to go the basic route. Dont have a good download to Atari method at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 When you get a chance, just type this line in BASIC (don't even need a line number): GRAPHICS 9: FOR K=0 TO 79: COLOR K/5: PLOT K,0:DRAWTO K,191: NEXT K: FOR K=0 TO 0 STEP 0: NEXT K It will generate GTIA shade bars and it should look like this: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hmm. Direct capture from composite output. Do you have anything else with a composite input? Does it look that dark on other TVs/monitors? Any chance the double stick tape is somewhat conductive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrtech Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Tape isn't conductive. Have used it on many projects in the past. Checked with multimeter just now to be sure. No response. Here is an phone photo of it hooked up to an AV input on an LCD monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 inconsistent... that's all the way in the other direction... you must have calibrated in spec monitors and projectors before you can judge this.. make sure your cables are quality as well... if nothing has been altered and one thing is dark and the other is bright you've got other issues..

Bryan Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hmm.. are the last 3 bands visible (is that a camera artifact?). Would you describe the white band as fully white? I'll install one in my 800 (haven't done that permanently yet) and post the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 looks like last 2 bands are one and together on his screen shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starglider01 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi Bryan, I've sent you a PM about ordering the video mod Rev D! Audio isn't part of the upgrade, so it must be picked off the board using one of the existing methods. Once I'm back in the US and can get a 7800 I can post about methods I've tested. ... After looking at the 7800 schematic, I might eventually make an audio buffer board that works on both the 400 and the 7800 since both systems need to mix audio from two sources. Did you ever conclude the ultimate audio mod or make the audio buffer board for the 400 sir? Thanks for all you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starglider01 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi guys, as I understand it there's no installation guide available so I'm a little unclear on how to connect the wiring to the monitor. In my case I need a simple RCA composite plug coming from the Rev D mod board. Is it as simple as wiring the 2 wires that are in a standard composite cable, into the appropriate mod board screws? Or do I need to combine chroma and luma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the Chroma or Luma signals at all for that. If you want to do a separate Chroma/Luma cable like for a vintage computer monitor, you'll need to wire up those signals as well. For S-video, you wire up those Chroma/Luma signals into the S-video jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irata 008 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Howdy all, I'm interested in this for my UK pal Atari 800xl (imported to NZ by the guy I purchased off) but I am wondering if its worth it given my display (Sony KLV-19T400A - multi region TV with component, PC RGB connector, HDMI, composite - but no S-video). Are there any converters recommended to convert the s-video signal to RGB, component or HDMI video? Or does this upgrade provide sufficient improvement to warrant installation based on composite video improvements alone? Another option is that I acquire another TV or monitor. If so, can you guys recommend any particular brand / model combos recommended? (A bonus would be proven available monitor suitable for the ST and Amiga!) I have seen s-video to rgb or composite cables on Ebay, but can't understand how a cheap cable can convert between what I understand to be colour incompatible video transmission formats... Apologies if Ive missed any relevant discussion about this - it's taken me about 4 days off and on to read all 26 odd pages on this forum.
