405 line PIC generator
A while ago I programmed a PIC to make the 405 line generator from the old forum; http://www.forum.radios-tv.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=12412
That was about 18 months ago and I'd almost forgot about it, but
I gathered up all the components I needed, all were to hand except a 6Mhz crystal, but a pack of five cost about £3 off ebay and this morning made up the generator on veroboard. I could see it produced an output but I don't have a modulator to see it on a TV.
However with a bit of experimentation with my Fluke PM5420 I found that setting it to SECAM system L (+ve vision modulation) with an external video input produced a good picture on my old HMV 1400. The Fluke covers all VHF and UHF bands and all colour systems sound spacing etc.
Of course the TV needs attention but I was pleased to see pictures on 405 lines again, for the first time since 1985 in fact.
There is not much on that PCB for the job it’s doing, impressive.
Now for the dumb question, I am good at those, why the double staircase image on the Scope is just the scope not triggering or something I am completely missing?
Frank
The double staircase is from another pattern provided in the PIC program (not the one on the TV screen) a crossed grayscale. The 'scope is showing all lines.
