VGA demo on Black Black F407VET6 (using STM32F407VE microcontroller)
It displays "Hello, world!" on a VGA connected to a Black F407VET6 board. It also display 64 supported colors.
This is the what you need to try this project:
| Hardware | Qty |
|---|---|
| Black F407VET6 board | 1 |
| Resistors 470 Ohm | 3 |
| Resistors 680 Ohm | 3 |
| Breadboard | 1 |
| VGA connector (I used one from the old video card) | 1 |
| Jumper wires | 15 |
| ST-Link v2 or clone | 1 |
Software: Install free IDE STM32CubeIDE. I am using Windows 10, however STMicroelectronics claims that it also supports Linux and Mac.
How to connect wires:
| PIN | Description | Connect To | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE8 | Red 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA red (1) |
| PE9 | Red 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA red (1) |
| PE10 | Green 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA green (2) |
| PE11 | Green 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA green (2) |
| PE12 | Blue 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA blue (3) |
| PE13 | Blue 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA blue (3) |
| PD15 | HSync | VGA HSync (13) | |
| PD14 | VSync | VGA VSync (14) | |
| G | Ground | VGA Ground (5,6,7,8,10) |
Alternative pinout (define BOARD2):
| PIN | Description | Connect To | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| PD0 | Red 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA red (1) |
| PD1 | Red 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA red (1) |
| PD2 | Green 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA green (2) |
| PD3 | Green 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA green (2) |
| PD4 | Blue 1 | Resistor 470 Ohm | VGA blue (3) |
| PD5 | Blue 2 | Resistor 680 Ohm | VGA blue (3) |
| PB6 | HSync | VGA HSync (13) | |
| PB7 | VSync | VGA VSync (14) | |
| G | Ground | VGA Ground (5,6,7,8,10) |
This project uses Cliff L. Biffle's m4vgalib to display "Hello, world".
