1) Yes, i reckon with sync stripper resistor is not needed.rgn11 wrote:Greatly appreciate if anyone could answer some of these questions I've had:
1) I believe I already have a sync strike lying around. Does this mean I don't need the 100ohm resistor to sync and ground since I'll be using the VGA output from the sync strike to the VGA input on the GBS?
2) I have the GBS board revision with one VGA output and black buttons (as an aside, it looks exactly like the 1 output 8200 models to me, but mine is branded the HD 9800 for some reason); so if I don't need the resistor, I assume the only applicable mods are the power supply bypass capacitors and C11 removal? Is the ferrite bead preferable to removal of C11?
3) Also, for those that own both the OSSC/GBS, does anyone have any comparison comments or images; I bought the GBS years ago as a budget option before the OSSC was around, and I'm wondering about the comparison.
4) Lastly, I can seem to find many images of people's completed wiring; does anyone have a closeup of a fully modded board?
Thanks for any answers.
2) Before you start mods, check image quality first. If there is no noise, so mods are not needed. I have two such boards and apparently on one mods either didn't remove noise, or even created it. Second have just wemos connected and picture is noiseless.
3) I don't remember side-by-side comparsions around here, but assuming gbs price - quality is quite good. Frame lag is same or even less than on OSSC.
4) There is nothing much to picture. 5 wires to wemos/nodemcu is no rocket science. There is "wiki" on gbs-control github with setup instructions.
