OctaPentaVeega - Fun hobby project to get 32x16 characters VGA output from Attiny85 with 9600 bps UART

OctaPentaVeega

Fun hobby project to generate 32 x 16 characters of text on VGA output (or alternatively 64x64 pixel graphics, or split-screen graphics/text) from Attiny85 with 6x10 pixel font.

Data is read from UART at 9600bps. Subset of ANSI escapes is supported.

Wiring 3 Attinys together gets you 8 color output :)

...work in progress, documentation appears in http://labs.rakettitiede.com/language/en/ when done.
