Main functions

  • Atari DIN13 to VGA
  • 3.5mm A/V connector with volume control.
  • Automatic detection of resolution.

v1.4 update

Added a AG-pad (AG after the guy who requested it) cut trace and connect the other pad to feed h-sync to PB2 instead of v-sync. Updates to firmware is needed.

Please be aware that the PCB is unrouted since different PCB houses has different tolerances and it might mess up the end product.

Manual

Plug device into your Atari.

Turn your Atari on.

Press .25-1.999[...] seconds: Switch mode.

Press +2 seconds: store current mode as default at cold boot.

Assembly tips

For least amount of wobbliness:

  1. Backside SMD stuff (TS5V330, ATtiny85 and 78l05).
  2. Flip board over, solder all SMD.
  3. DIN13
  4. Lastly solder volume pot and VGA. Flipping of board is optional if you're a good at soldering.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Solution
Constant switching Check ATtiny soldering, probably rebooting. +5V and GND are possible offenders.
Dark picture. Check soldering on multiplexer, pin 8 and 16 (GND and VCC).
Physical switch not working, software switching works. Check soldering at ATtiny PB4 and soldering at the tactile switch itself.
Niether software or hardware switching works. Check soldering ATtiny PB3 and multiplexer pin 1.
Niether software or hardware switching works, boots in low res. Did you remember to program your ATtiny?
Software switch not working Check soldering on ATtiny PB2 and V-sync on DIN
Hardware switch slow. Did you set fuses ("Burn bootloader" in Arduino IDE) before programming ATtiny? Processor is probably running in 1MHz.
Won't hold saved state, switches to hires after cold boot. Try upping bootWait, probably some timing issues at boot. A recap of PSU might be in place as well.
