[Coco] Current Status of the "Help Send A Fellow CoCoNut ToThis Year's CoCoFEST" Campaign

[Kip Koon]

Hi Kelly,
I really didn't know what a P0082 is and I didn't see that number mentioned in the Altera DE-0 Nano ads so I figured I needed clarify that the Altera DE-0 Nano IS the FPGA platform Luis designed the RGB2VGA Converter to operate on.  I have seen cheaper prices down to $79.  Once I saw one for $71, but I can't find it again.  Terasic has them for $79.  This is the link.

Here's all the details about the Altera DE-0 Nano from Altera including downloadable PDFs and ZIP files for it.

This needs to go to the group as well.  If you or anyone can find the $71 price I saw once, I'd like to see it again.  This is the best I can find for you.

Thanks, Kip.

I am unfamiliar with the Altera stuff, that's why I was asking if this is part P0082

It's listed as "DE0-NANO EVAL BOARD"  Price $86.25 from Altera.

Here's the link:

I'd hate to order the wrong board.

Thanks

Hi Kelly,
The Altera DE-0 Nano is the board to host the RGB2VGA.
As to the cable, I had totally forgotten to include it when I priced the RGB2VGA Converter.  I will be pricing the connectors today and making an announcement as to whether a price change will take place or not.  I'm hoping not.  I'll be getting back to everybody about the cable issue.  I'll send this to everybody to keep everybody updated.

Hi Kip,

Is there a source for the RGB-to-RGB cable to connect the Coco 3 to the RGB2VGA card?

And this is the P0082 board that is used host the RGB2VGA card, correct?

Thanks.
