Ben Eater completes his breadboard VGA video card by explaining analog RGB signals, using an EEPROM for image storage, and building a DAC.
For part 1, see this video: youtube.com/watch?v=l7rce6IQDWs Let's build a circuit that displays an image on a VGA monitor! In part 2, I talk about how VGA uses analog RGB signals to send different color pixels to the monitor. I use an EEPROM to store an image and build a simple digital-to-analog converter to generate the color signals to successfully display an image.
