    Download the VGA driver and use that instead of the TV driver.

    thanks Leon for your answer, but Yes, i have changed the driver , but there are lots of constant tables and Vars that needs to be set.

    I'm·using Propeller from 2 days ago·, i· came from ARM·Cortex m3 processors and this is really new fo me·.....If you know where is possible to find some working demos that uses graphics library and VGA this will help me a lot.



    Tnks and best regards

    Oh my god....thanks all for help!

    but yes...the demo is right but i find a lot of problems to include the graphics lib (arc, line, plot etc)

    As you can see, inside the demo is possible to test only Text graphics (boxes are created using characters)

    I know tha i'm pretending too much, but im sure that you can help me!

    Thanks and best regards

    Look for Chip's 512x384 bitmapped vga object in the obex

    there is also my 640x240 bitmapped vga driver in obex

    The Propeller only has 32KB of memory, so the amount of graphics possible in VGA is limited - if you need higher resolution and more color, one of my products - the Morpheus board - can do that.

    thank you Bill...

    i think that this is a good start....yes the morpheus is bigger and offers more memory but for the use that i need think that popeller is enought.

    The file suggested is really good but offers too few graphics option like double text etc (instead of graphics.spin library) but now i'll work on it...thank you and hope to solve soon my problem.....
