I wanted to learn how to generate VGA output signals using Arduino.
I remember trying to build a similar circuit using PIC16F84A here.
So I searched instructables.com because I make sure to have something that is tried to be working.
Here are some useful links of Arduino VGA interface projects I found on instructables.com
This project is a nice and straight forward circuit that uses Arduino to make a Tetris Game.

This is the video of the game in action
Components:
- Arduino
- 15 Pin VGA Connector
- Resistors: 2 x 68 Ohm
2 x 470 Ohm
4 x 2 k Ohm
- Four Push Buttons
- Verro Board
- Speaker
This is the pinout of the VGA connector
Hardware:
Circuit diagram shows how simple it is
Here is how the circuit looks like
Here is a nice enclosure for the circuit
Here is the screen shot of the Monitor with Tetris Game on it
Software:
More details can be found in this Arduino forum.
