VGA from the PE Kit? (breadboard)

Are there any HD15 connectors that will fit in the Propeller Education Kit breadboard? The kit looks great, but I'd really like to have video for debugging purposes.

    Newzed sells a VGA connector for breadboard use and Wulfden sells a VGA output board that's set up for use with their Propeller Robot Controller, but would work with a breadboard as well.

    Well, after an absurd amount of google searching, I managed to find this:

    www.technologicalarts.ca/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/38/products_id/155

    Parallax should sell something like this as an add-on to the PE Kit; I think it would be useful to a lot of people.

    For $10.50, you can get the PRC-VGIO which has a functional VGA port plus PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse here www.wulfden.org/PRC/index.shtml

    Yeah, but then I have to break out the soldering iron, which defeats the entire purpose of using a breadboard. smilewinkgrin.gif

    Yes, but it'll be a much neater solution than wiring the 8 resistors to the VGA breakout board. Plus you'll get some good experience soldering.
