Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC3436, DLP230NP
Hello,
In a project I work on there is a need for a high speed spatial light modulator, which should be also not so expensive, at least for proof of concept period. During a check on your portfolio I encountered with DLPDLCR230NPEVM, which seems to be capable of working @240Hz for 960x540 RGB666 images.
Now I am thinking about the possibility of increasing frame-rate by manipulating the FPGA controller on EVM, so that 3x6 bits of color information input can be evaluated as 18 bits of monochrome(black-white, 0-1) info. Theoretically this makes our light modulator as @720Hz in monochrome mode.
To be able to do this, I plan to use an FPGA(Arty A7 as cost effective option) and connect digital output pins directly to EVM GPIO input pins, according to DPI pin layout without Raspberry Pi board. For software/firmware modifications on controller/FPGA, definitely I can use Raspberry Pi, but on real time working, it seems that there is no need to rely on RPi4.
Do you think that my scenario can work ? Is there any technical hurdles/constraints which I missed ? Could I directly manipulate FPGA/Controller on EVM ?
I would be grateful for your kindly support.
Gorkem.
