Spork Frog , The Hybrid has SD and has a Hydra compatible expansion slot, which means you can also plug the HX512K card into it, and the SD is on seperate pins to the slot, so yes, you can load stuff into SRAM from SD using the hybrid. [noparse]:)[/noparse] without taking up much of the precious 32K of HUB RAM. leaving more room for game code and multiple levels [noparse];)[/noparse]
Cant wait until I get my card and can give it a try...

[noparse][[/noparse] ] Let's connect the motor to pin 1, it's a 6V motor so it should be fine.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] OK, I got my resistors hooked up with the LEDs.
[noparse][[/noparse]X] I got the Motor hooked up with the H-bridge and the 555 is supplying the PWM.

Spork, just make the video [noparse]:)[/noparse] ...
I think I'll buy Hybrid too ... depending on price with shipping to Finland...
The driver itself is not gonna change, but I'll release a new version of the tool (bugs&inaccuracy fixed, binary output, sprite sheets, LZ77 compression) this weekend and probably also LZ77 decompressor (needs a cog... decompresses from EEPROM, supports reading & writing to EEPROM too for saves)
Haven't been keeping up, but does this thing use the SRAM as buffer space for the Graphics driver? if it did then I will go out and buy an SRAM card, because it will SO help!

Have you made any progress with your driver? I am trying to create an LCD driver that can display a 480x272px display with 2bit resolution, which means I can use the first 64K of space in the HX512 for display memory and a draw buffer.
But, I am relatively green when it comes to accessing memory external to the Prop, so I would like to learn from your code to see what I am expecting, i.e., Render Cog access period during the vertical blank, is there enough time for the Prop to get a 64 byte tile every hblank, etc.
I understand you are designing a TV driver, and my device has timings different than VGA, however, looking through other's code is how I learn and get inspiration so to speak.
Any information that you can lend, would be appreciated.

Hybrid is available very soon, I am waiting for UPS to pop the boards through my door and shortly after they will be available to all.
Baggers has done the SD Boot menu system and a brilliant conversion of the classic Jet Pac game.
There are a few other releases coming, just watch the forums for news.
We held back the release for a few last minute additions to the hardware and I will post some pictures of the assembled boards as soon as I have them.
Regards,
Coley

Nice video output.

It looks even better once you see it in action.
