Gameduino 3X Dazzler
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:25 pm
The Gameduino 3X Dazzler is arguably the best contender for a modern UB successor that I've seen yet.
GPU: BT815 1.1 gigapixel/s embedded GPU with 8 Mbyte flash
FPGA: Xilinx Spartan-6 LX9 FT256 with 8 Mbyte flash
Video output: HDMI 24-bit at 1280x720 (720p) with 48 KHz stereo audio
Storage: microSD slot
Extra input: two Wii Classic controller ports
Form-factor:
Gameduino 3X Dazzler is an Arduino-compatible shield
The shield includes the Dazzler Core, which is an SMD module that includes GPU, FPGA, and HDMI
Hardware interfaces:
Standard SPI up to 36 MHz for Arduino communication
UART up to 1 Mbps for FPGA connection
JTAG for FPGA reloading
All inputs are 5 V tolerant
Programming: Gameduino library for Arduino and CircuitPython. Dozens of examples.
Terminal mode: functions as an ANSI terminal with high-speed UART
Current consumption (typical): 180 mA
Dimensions: 83 mm x 53 mm x 20 mm
All open hardware and only ~$42, with a FPGA! Of course that presumes you already have an Arduino but they're only ~$20.
