Hi,

I want to display images on a TV set using a PIC. However, generating the
video signals myself will complicate the project quite a bit, and not leave
time for other, more important aspects of the project. As this is a project
idea for my final year of my degree in Software Engineering, if I encounter
many problems in generating the signals it could seriously affect my degree.

I was wondering if there were any fairly cheap chips around to help with the
video signal generation? Something I could easilly interface with a PIC to
simplify things somewhat. As I sort of said, I am not an electrician. I'm a
programmer. Electronics is just a bit of a side hobby, and hence I do not
know that much about it.

Regards,

David Stubbs
