Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

That looks like an SD card socket but it's actually a micro USB?

My bad..... :(  I messed up the BOM.
There's no separate micro USB socket, only the one on the PicoMite.
There *is* the above micro SD socket though.

@Lizby

This version of your colour bar program should better highlight the nature of the colour problem. Also the monitor may have a "Night Mode" that reduces the blue content.
'Colour bars. RGB(1,2,1) 4 bit with R G & B components
mode 2
dim integer R,G,B,x,y=1
dim integer xx=mm.hres-1,yi=mm.vres/16
for R=0 to 255 step 255
  for G=0 to 3*64 step 64
    for B=0 to 255 step 255
      box x,y,xx,yi,,rgb(R,G,B),rgb(R,G,B)
      box xx-60,y,xx,yi,,rgb(R,0,0),rgb(R,0,0)
      box xx-40,y,xx,yi,,rgb(0,G,0),rgb(0,G,0)
      box xx-20,y,xx,yi,,rgb(0,0,B),rgb(0,0,B)
      y=y+yi
    next

OK - no worries. Thanks for explaining.

A trap when calculating Pico output currents or voltages is the Pin resistance (40 to 50 ohms) is in series. So the VGA resistors need to be lower than you expect.

The Resistorvalues are those, which Mixtel90 posted in his Construction pack.
I am fine with this values, my post was to fix the "tan-ish white" Problem by lizby.
