DIY Flicker fixer available?
« on: July 08, 2004, 11:01:19 AM »
I am a bit of a hardware hack and used to enjoy attempting the DIY projects in the magazines (I got the sampler and the amplifier working that were in CU Amiga).

Anyway, is there a DIY project for a scan doubler/flicker fixer available, or are they too complex to attempt? I have looked on Aminet with no joy.
Thanks.

Hello,

Scandoublers are quite complex.

I am designing a scandoubler using devices from Averlogic and Samsung, it has 2 off 100 pin parts and 1 off 64 pin part. Pin pitch is around 0.65 mm, fun to solder!  :-o I'll post more when I am finished.

There are Syncdoublers which 'fudge' the 15 KHz scan rate but distort the picture, see
Syncdoubler.lha    hard/hack  273K 422 Show 15khz on VGA Monitor, no Patch

Have fun
