Has anyone figured out how to successfully broadcast television signals (ie channel 3, etc).

Thank you

    Its a single bit, you just turn on the broadcast bit. Read it in the graphics section of the Hydra manual or the propeller manual. You don't have to do anything, its automatic. just a couple bit settings, and timing settings for the counter.

    My Son and I purchased the Hydra as a fun way to explore programming together and his favorite subject -gaming. The only problem is that in order to succeed with no programming experience (other than Basic Stamp programming with the EzVid) we need tutorials that are geared to complete beginners. These would no doubt slow down the typical buyer of the hydra to a snails pace.

    Can you attach the lines of code that will allow us to broadcast to a nearby television while we work on modifying the game Hydraman?

    Thank you,

    p.s. Are you THE Andre?

    Let me take a look, but that might not be the best example of something to try for you, better to see a very short program that uses the TV driver and then the changes for broadcast. I will post something tommorow. And I am the "andre" that developed the hydra.

    Also, you will want to put a nice 1 foot long wire into the antenna output next to the video port as well to help with transmisson.

    Hey, I would like to use the antenna too!
    Looks like Andre forgot something...
