Hello,
I have a DLP Pico Projector. I removed the light engine from the DLP Pico Projector so that I could only use the digital micromirror device. From what I understand from the manuals, then, I am working with the DLP 1700.
I would like to issue I2C commands (such as internal structure pattern commands e.g. a checkerboard). I understand that TI does not include a software to issue such commands (as I read from several previous posts). However, can I use one of the following two options:
1. Connect a beagleboard to the HDMI port of the DLP Pico Projector and to the USB port of a PC. Then, download angstrom and I2C tool. After that issue any I2C command to the DLP1700 micromirrors (such as forming patterns, etc or flipping an image). Once this is done, do I then unplug the DLP Pico Projector from the beagleboard and then use an HDMI to DVI-D cable and connect it to the DVI-D port of the PC; is the DMD of the Pico Projector still in the settings of what was issued from the beagleboard and the I2C commands? For example if I set the DMD to be in a checkerboard pattern or to flip the image, after I take the DMD from the beagleboard and connect it to a computer, will the image from the computer be in checkerboard design(while still maintaining its true image< checkerboarded so to speak) or will the image be flipped? (Perhaps, this is not relevant but is it necessary to have a configured SD card?)
2. Connect the DLP Pico Projector with a mini HDMI to USB cable to the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter (from web addresshttp://www.totalphase.com/products/aardvark-i2cspi/ ) and connect the Aardvark 12C/SPI Host Adapter ribbon cable to an activity board: CAN/I2C Activity Board Pro (http://www.totalphase.com/products/activity-board-pro/) then download the software to issue commands using I2C. After I issue commands using I2C will those command settings still be "in tact" or in use when I unplug the DLP Pico Projector and plug the projector to the PC. In other words, if I issued a command to set the DMD to be a checkerboard pattern using the I2C commands from the Host Adapter and then take off the DLP Pico Projector and connect it to the computer and have the computer screen or say another image from the computer (like the TI logo or something) will the DLP Pico Projector project then from the DMD (DLP 1700) that image (TI Logo) but "checkerboarded".
Perhaps, as a third option, how would I use the USB-I2C/IO from devasys?
Thank you for reading this post. I really appreciate your time!
Thank you!!
