I didn't realize you had continued work on the OLSD project, Chris! Cool...
I agree that Rob's "ILDA-Jem" is a great product, but Hank's desire for a portable unit that could also display actual test patterns is something I've often wished for as well. Of course, doing this adds a great deal of complexity, which is probably why Rob never went down that path.
Ed's bench project looks intriguing! I wonder what the estimated cost is though.?. 16-bit resolution is ideal, but honestly the 12-bit resolution of the OLSD would probably have been good enough for a portable "check" device like we're discussing.
The main problem is that the OLSD still needs something to control it. Ed's board is a stand-alone, which is the real goal for the sort of "updated ILDA-Jem" that Hank was talking about.
So Ed - how much?
