DLP Pico Development Board

Hi,

 

I am interested in purchasing the DLP development board..  However, I need to know more about it.  What is the software that is used to program development kit?

 

Can basic functions such as turning on the projector and turning it off be programmed?  Does it have the ability to zoom in, zoom out, or be displayed diagonally?  Can the image be re-calibrated? 

Does it have the ability to flash images?

 

 

Thanks

    Hello 24_Sos W_oo. Welcome to the DLP & MEMS forum.

    In order to better answer your question, could you clarify which DLP development board you are considering? Is it the Pico Kit V2?

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Yes, the Pico Kit V2 is the one I am considering the most.

    24_Sos W_oo,

    The Pico Kit V2 does not come with software. It is capable of displaying 640x480 @60Hz video provided through the DVImini connector from a suitable video source. This can be a computer with a DVI output (DVI to HDMI adapter or cable required), or from a laptop through a VGA-to-DVI/HDMI converter.

    The Pico Kit V2 also can display video provided by a BeagleBoard, from the BB HDMI output.

    The internal functions of the Pico Kit V2 must be accessed via I2C. The BeagleBoard (with Angstrom linux) provides an I2C interface which works through the DVI connection. Otherwise, there is access to the I2C bus from the AUX connector of the Pico Kit V2.

    We encourage the user of the Pico Kit V2 to make use of the Open Source Software resources available via the web to develop their own software solutions.

    Please refer to the documents provided from the link <http://ti.com/mems> when you select the link for the <0.17 HVGA Chipset>. There you will find data sheets for the 0.17 chipset components.

    If you click on the link for the DLPC100, you will get a page which has links to other technical documents, including the Pico Kit V2 User's Guide, and  Using the DLP Pico 2.0 Kit for Structured Light Applications.

    You will find a lot of resources for using and understanding the Pico Kit V2.

    Hi,

     

    I currently have a Optoma Pk301 projector that uses the 0.17 HVGA Chipset.  Do you think I can access the I2C bus through one of its ports?  I am comparing its capabilities to the Pico Kit V2.  I understand I could do so much more with the pico Kit; however, I am wondering if you ever heard someone try this.  I have not have very much help from Optoma.

     

    Thanks

    Hi 24_Sos W_oo,

    TI does not comment on non-public information about its customers' products.  You are following the right path by contacting Optoma for information about the PK301.

    Best regards,
