im really confused on what the pots do in this config. i am making this myself and am designing an enclosure but im not sure what to label the pots. are they R, G and B, or like are they amplitude of the signal waves, or like the shape, or what?
Great video, I think your voice and crappy mic were perfect ;) I think everybody with a taste for squarewaves should try CHA/V, and this way is mad simple, yet effective. More videos please!
thank you! i have a lot of ideas for videos, between personal motivation and moving and other stuff the energy and focus to do so is just almost always elusive. i will absolutely make more stuff in the future, maybe even more cha/v-related videos since there have been newer versions released. i appreciate your comment <3
it should produce a usable signal, i'm not sure how *good* the signal will be but certainly it should do *something* and is worth experimenting with! they can be found pretty cheaply these days
First of all thank you for the video. Finally able to properly understand how to connect the generator to a breadboard and make it from there. Was wondering if you have any idea if the VGA signal generator that is battery/usb connected (in Europe it seems like the only option, and the one I was able to get was exactly that) would work the same way or if I need to tweak it in any form.
if i was to guess i'd say it was to leave room for future revisions, potentially adding more features to the standard etc. VWestlife did a video about a very specific usage of it that was one pin shorter ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yLShpiBdXuE.html
thank you for the compliment <3 absolutely, you could! you could also replace the pots with LDRs and use light, or combinations of all of these things.
IMPORTANT NOTES & TIMESTAMPS You may have noticed I completely forgot to include the timing caps for the green and blue channels. The thing still works, but adding the 0.1uF cap between the output pins and ground does actually make a big difference in how it looks (in this case, pins 4 and 6). So, probably do that, or don't, if you like how it looks without them.
