mbed Xpresso Baseboard VGA

Hello

I recently bought a mbed Xpresso Baseboard which i'm using with my mbed-LPC1768 module. I'm trying to use the VGA but nothing seems to work. I have tried several examples and libraries but nothing shows on the monitor. I am pretty new in this so maybe it's just me that's missing something. I also find it very hard finding any documentation on this. In the user manual from NGX (http://www.shop.ngxtechnologies.com/download/user_manual/mbed_Xpresso_Baseboard/NGX_mbed_mX_BaseBoard.pdf) it just says "Work in progress" in the VGA section. Seeing that this document was last updated 12/11/2010 I don't expect it to be updated soon.

Could really use some help on this :-)

Thank you

Looking at the base-board schematics, perhaps it was an ambitious project at one time! However, there are a number of VGA-LCD programs available for mbed, I think that is the closest you will get.

EDIT: There maybe a VGA interface card available (Arduino) that you may be able to use.

You could also try to port the Arduino VGA Lib.
