Hi,
I bought this TFT screen that id like to use in a project. When I bought it I was under the impression that it would be easy to interface it to a standard VGA source, but this seems not to be the case. The controller for the screen takes an 8 bit parallel input.
Is it possible to interface this type of screen with say, a Raspberry Pi or even my computer, to act as a monitor? Are there any chips you know of that takes HDMI/DVI/VGA and converts it to the parallel RGB type the controller takes? I found a dev board from the same company that can display composite video, but I haven't found anything for VGA.
Thank you
