Right, I have a set of slightly modified prototype boards on order. That includes a veritable host (5 panels of 8 each) of the VGA adapter modules. :)

I don't know if anyone can use a module that allows a VGA monitor to be connected to the HSTX pins as laid out for the Adafruit DVI breakout. It could also be used a combined socket and resistor matrix to plug into a breadboard. No promises yet, but I'll see what they are like when they turn up. It's my first attempt at using JLCPCB's panelizing system with V cuts.

The main boards are, as I mentioned previously, my first serious attempt at working with 4 layers. It's passed my usual SL6 point-to point checks and the DRC so most of it might work. :)

The total cost of all the boards, including standard "el cheapo" shipping and taxes, was £18.95.

No gerbers yet. I'd rather like it to work first. :)  The circuit diagram is almost done and I'm fairly well on with the manual. Yes, I still do manuals. :)

Still need to get some more bits from AE - I'm running out.
