			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys,</p><p>I&#039;d like to use Arduino mini as the control interface for the mods and a middleware to transmit video signal via serial port.</p><p>Here&#039;s the setup I have in mind:</p><p>Inputs are<br />- a pot connected to analog input (and to LTC1799)<br />- a tactile switch acting as a button to select which mod to control</p><p>You press the button and enter one of the following states (value of each state is controlled by a pot):</p><p>- backlight and buttons illumination on/off (basically the leftmost pot position is off the rightmost is on)<br />- hex inversion on/off<br />- activate pitch by supplying 5V to LTC<br />- switch between x1/2 x1 and x2 speed oscillator</p><p>Now the last point is a problem. I need a voltage controlled switch activated by voltage. I used NPN transistors in the past to activate power supply to the certain regions of the circuit, but I&#039;m not sure it will work with an oscillators. So any help on that matter will be very appreciated. Thanks!</p><p>Oh, and do you have any ideas what else I could with Arduino inside the gameboy? Apart from Arduino boy of course... Cheers!</p><p>EDIT:<br />After some experimenting I discovered:<br />- Transmitting pixel data to PC via serial port is a nasty bitch (but I&#039;m not sure it completely impossible);<br />- As I expected transistor is useless for voltage controlled oscillator switch (at least I&#039;ve learned something);<br />- Using internal Arduino as a cartridge SRAM reader seems to be feasible (only need as shift register)...</p>]]></content>
