Falcon 030 3-in-1 monitor adapter

[GadgetUK164]

Has anyone seen rainbow coloured bands down the display when using one of these? I notice that the CT60 splash screen displays perfectly, then when the screen goes white for memory test I get the coloured bands rotating (at character height, over every row of text).

I did wonder if the internal fan was contributing to this - I noticed on RF there are diagonal lines that came into play when I reconnected the fan.

Suggestions?

Never heard of that. The adapter isn't much past a a straight through adapter. Try different monitor lead ? Monitor ? What does the diagnostic RGB show up like ?

Quick question. Would these cables be good to provide the power to the adapter?

Should be OK, its just a standard USB cable. Just don't us "quick chargers" as they can surge up several volts.

One small pice of feedback in case there's a future revision: A micro USB (or USB-C?) plug as power source would be a better choice over USB-A in my opinion since those cables are more popular and everyone probably has dozens of them lying around ready for action.

:bravo:

I have designed a new board, but I lost the prototype and just not had chance to work on it since. so I just got the original ones made as I still had a lot of PCBs left anyway.

I've designed and printed a cheesegrater case for the adaptor because everything is nicer cheesegrater style: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4637684

The photos are from v0.9 and I have since fixed the remaining gaps. If your PLA tends to shrink you might want to print this >100% scale since it's a snug fit, but it worked at 100% for me. Post-processed with sandpaper (wet) and some 303 aerospace protectant.

Great! Glad you're happy with it and I love the case you designed for it! Wish I had a 3D printer!
