Ok. Works fine! I think I worried too much. I didn’t want to upload anything and overwrite what was there before I knew what I was doing so I was looking for a way to test connectivity without causing any damage. However, throwing caution to the wind I took the hackvision code into the IDE having copied the tv and controller libraries into a folder as instructed, changed the text ‘space invaders’ to something else of the same length and then uploaded it. Worked like a dream and when I plugged it into the telly I saw my changed string – clearly all worked fine. So we’re now off to try something more adventurous… Thanks.
Yes, have the USB-serial cable. Was expecting something to happen when I plugged it in though. Arduino website suggests Windows looks for a driver (I’m running windows 7). Nothing happens though. Thought I’d try serial monitor to see if I could see anything coming back but not sure of speed setting (tried various). Assumed I’d be able to communicate with the bootloader. On the plus side, had a look at the libraries link and created the directory, stored them etc. Thanks for the pointer. IDE sees the tv.out now. My C is rusty but creeping back…
