[Elecraft] Found: P3

[Phil Hystad]

The videos are excellent.  Ben Eater is one of the better teachers of digital electronics (especially to a philistine such as myself) on Youtube.  I built his 8-bit computer project almost two years ago and I am in the process of building the 6502 computer project (yes, my own Apple-1).

Even though you may not plan on building your own VGA (which Ben refers to as the world’s worst VGA) you should watch the videos to understand how Ben teaches an how VGA signals work.
