    Gogs,
    What exactly are you wanting to do ?
    The HC-OSD is a very capable module, you can download the manual here http://www.hittconsulting.com/hcosd.htm

    The Propeller can do this w/ the proper backround settings. I've used the Prop. as just a video driver w/ the BS2 $stamps sending info to the Prop via some I/O pins. But This depends on whether You can deal with the "Hide and seek" code called SPIN.

    I also recall and ad in N&V Mag. That will do exactly what You want. if I come across it again I'll post here.

    This message is off-topic in the BASIC Stamp forum and is being moved to the Sandbox Forum.

    I believe this is not of topic and should not be moved. By integrating various adc circuits, time, date, gyro and other adc and digital topics this relates to this topic. The board that I am developing uses all the functions of the Stamp chip including intigration with PWM. It also requires using the serial port and writing data to an external·Eprom. Since it uses all the functions of the·Stamp chip to the max it should not be moved as it can help other people who have this chip,

    Take care.

    Gogs,

    Your message simply asked if anyone knew about a Video Overlay Board. It did not ask how to connect a specific unit to the BASIC Stamp nor for help on the code to do so. At this point this message is not BASIC Stamp related. As far as I know there are no BASIC Stamp specific overlay boards out there. Most of them (at least any that would work with a BASIC Stamp) will work with any microcontroller. We need to keep the questions posted in the BASIC Stamp Forum (or any Forum) on topic or they get cluttered and fewer messages are seen and answered.

    I once moved a post asking how an inductor works from one of the forums. The entire thread was about the theory of operation of an inductor. When I moved the thread the OP was upset because he intended on using that inductor and knowledge in his future project that would be on topic. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Each message has a place and I feel this one really belongs here. Once you have a specific video overlay board and you have questions about how to connect it or program a BASIC Stamp to control it, these would be on topic in the BASIC Stamp forum. Take care.
