Amiga RGB to S Video & composite adapter
« on: July 05, 2008, 04:47:23 AM »
I built this from a schematic I saw over on the English Amiga Board.  I wanted to get S video working on my 600 and 500.  The problem is that S video doesn't work.  A brief flash of a garbled Workbench screen and then the screen goes black.  Same thing on both computers.  Composite works fine.  Anyone have any ideas about what might be going wrong with it.

Yes I know.  Its mostly for the old Amiga 500 that I have.  I wonder if it is a bad cap going to the s video port?  Colors look good coming out of the composite so That means that the RGB inputs are working. (I think)

Read your post and switched the outputs.  I was in a hurry so I used jumpers to switch them. Pulled the cable from the TV to run a quick check. OK everythings connected again.  Pluged it in the 500 and turned the computer on.   .....Nothing.....oops..... I neglected to plug the s video cable back in the TV.  Powered everything down and plugged it in and  IT WORKS.  It's time to heat up the soldering iron.  

I went back to the ADF for the AD724 chip and if I am reading it right they have the schematics wrong for that part of the circuit.

Thanks Wingnut.
