Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Here is my minimum parts build Pi Pico VGA.



I can double sided tape it to the back of the monitor. I have chosen a monitor that has a USB port and the USB keyboard supports PS2 connection.

Geoff, I presume you are talking about the level shifter board and I am only using half of it.

I wanted to put a VGA display & PS2 keyboard on a RP2040-Zero but the wrong pins are available. :(  Only to outdo OA47, of course. :)

Oh - the resistors are inline with the wires. Sorry, I didn't see that initially.

I did a PicoStick some time ago. I cheated and used a PCB though. :)

I have built a couple of Mick's PicoSticks that work great!
