Arduino TVout Pi Day Logo

TVout library enables you to generate TV signals using Arduino with easy configuration and hardware circuit

In this project, we'll see how to import BMP bitmap file into the TV screen using Arduino TVout library.

Supplies

Hardware Components

Arduino UNO

1 K Ohm Resistor

470 Ohm Resistor

RCA Connector

Step 1: Image Conversion

In this step, you need to convert the bitmap image using this tool from the website to produce the image in the correct format, resolution and size.

Step 2: Image Code

Then you copy the output code from the conversion tool and include it inside the Arduino code.

Step 3: Arduino Code

We include the image code inside the Pi.h file.

Then you include the TVout library inside the Arduino IDE. You then compile the code. Connect Arduino UNO and upload the code.

Here is the complete Arduino code.

Step 4: Hardware Components

Arduino UNO

1 K Ohm Resistor

470 Ohm Resistor

RCA Connector

Step 5: Circuit Connection

Connect the circuit as in the image.

Step 6: ​Hardware Circuit

Here is the circuit in the real connection.

Step 7: Test

Power up the Arduino and Power the TV Screen and you can see the Pi Logo on the TV Screen.
