Peritel SCART

J'ai reçu une requête sur ce qu'il faut pour brancher un Raspberry Pi a une télévision a tube (en France) qui n'a pas d’entrée vidéo RCA.

Beaucoup de télévisions (avant HDMI) en France (et en europe) avaient un connecteur Péritélévision (Périphérique de télévision), plutôt qu'un connecteur RCA composite. C'est aussi connu comme SCART ou EuroSCART.

Mes instructions (day 3: vidéo) posent donc un problème. Il faut un adaptateur, comme celui ci.

Pour l'audio, il faudra donc un autre adaptateur, RCA stereo a mini jack 3.5mm, lui aussi stereo (voir aussi l'article day 3)

Ca se trouve facilement.

Il faudra aussi modifier config.txt pour y inclure le mode PAL (sinon ca sera NTSC, et on se retrouve avec une image en noir et blanc):

Retro computing kit

So apparently, the Gertboard is not going to be made available as a kit anymore. I'm glad I built one kit and I still have an unbuilt kit.

But that doesn't help you. You wanted to do some soldering.

Well, if you dont mind doing something that is unrelated to the Raspberry Pi, but always wanted to build your own complete computer from a kit, then over on kickstarter, David Griffith is trying to get another run of P112 boards and kits going. He is a little over halfway funded, with 1 week to go. Check out the video:


The P112 Single Board Computer Kit is a little 8 bit retro computer based on the Z80 (actually a Z180). Many computers from the golden era of howebrew and personal computing ran a Zilog z80, such as the RadioShack TRS-80, the Osborne, the Kaypro, Sinclair ZX series, Amstrad CPC. It was also used in some musical instruments, such as my Sequential Circuits Six-trak and E-mu emulator.

There was a previous run made around 2008, and before that, probably about 1996. It is capable of running zdos, cp/m and uzi, the unix for z80. Some software available at Sourceforge.

So, head over to kickstarter and check it out. The full kit will also require a 5v power supply and a 3.5" floppy disk drive.

Disclaimer: I have made a contribution as a backer, but beside that, I have no financial interest in this project.

Do you know what it is?

In the previous hint, I hope you didn't get sidetracked by the HP logo... Nor the vintage of the monitor.

Although not in the blog comments, on one list, there are some suggestions of a certain type of computers. You guys are warm. For those who were thinking black and white only (yep, the RF modulator is struggling):

Mark your calendar year

I think the vintage of this period correct "monitor" will clear things up :)

Next hint now available

 hint #3

It lives! Hint #1

I just resurrected an old computer. Can you guess what it is?

I'll post a hint a day until somebody identifies it or by next Monday I'll post the answer. There are 8 clues and a dead end just on this photo.

New hint is posted

As for this one, no it is not an HP.
