Overview

There are currently three different hardware implementations of RGBtoHDMI:

The original 2018 3 bits per pixel "Beeb" RGBtoHDMI (hoglet): images/IMG_1390.JPG
The original 2018 4 bits per pixel "Atom" RGBtoHDMI (hoglet):

The new 2020 12 bits per pixel "Generic" RGBtoHDMI with optional analog front end (IanB): images/12bit.jpg

This section details the parts needed to put together a RGBtoHDMI system:

An RGBtoHDMI hat (as shown above)
A Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W (PiHut), including:
- 2x20 pin GPIO header
- 1x2 pin reset header (additional)
A Micro SDHC Card (2GB or larger) (PiHut)
Suitable mounting hardware:
- 11mm M2.5 spacers (4 off)
- 6mm M2.5 machine screws (8 off)
Suitable video-in cable:
- this will differ depending on the the source system, and on the RGBtoHDMI hat implementation
- e.g. a 6-pin DIN to 6-pin Molex KK cable
Suitable video-out cable:
- A mini-HDMI to HDMI cable (or DVI if that is what your Monitor needs) (PiHut)

Optional parts:
