In this video we convert the palette circuit from breadboard to pcb. This contains work from parts 11 and 12 in the vga series. Converting exiting circuits to pcb sometimes feels like it doesn’t progress the build, but it is an essential part of the process. This is a huge step forward in the vga circuit allowing me to run all the core functionality so far without any breadboards hanging off the side of the build.
As is commonly the case with these, the PCB routing takes a big chunk of the time. If that doesn’t interest you jump forwards to (Or use the chapters).
