MCE plugs directly into the HMC card or via the supplied extension cable.
The MCE unit needs to be powered by 5V. This is done via the Micro-USB connector on the Pico Pi using any old cell charger. There is also DuPont connector for 5V on the MCE Blaster so one could make up a DuPont to Molex cord and power it off the PC as well.
The MCE has been pixel corrected for this card and the clock setting is saved to FLASH. So it is plug and play. The MCE is very easy to use. Instructions supplied.
You can use it on other cardsĀ as well, you will get a picture straight away but you may get some shimmer or tearing and this is adjusted by the buttons and with the option to save that setting to the Pico's FLASH memory.
The MCE displays a splash screen on the VGA monitor when it is powered this goes away once it receives a signal from the computer.
A Jumper settings sheet is supplied for theĀ CGA card, it is currently set to CGA but could also be used as a Hercules graphics card. Both modes were tested.
