Congrats, this is the most intelligent source of information I've found in the last 12 hours trying to troubleshoot why mine isn't working. I have a bunch of those cables so I thought it was something else but after testing they all share the incompatible TRRS configuration. All this to watch dragon ball z on my CRT lol ~_~
Could you help me I am trying to use a raspberry pi 3 B+ to display to a 13" AppleColor RGB monitor the monitor uses db15 and I have a gert 666 adapter on the pi and a VGA to db15 adapter with 10 switches but I can't figure out how to get it to display currently there are 2 small pi screens that go in circles on the screen and are greenish.
When you want to click an OK button that's off screen, click on the top left most tab so it's selected, then hit Shift+Tab, which will tab through selections, but in reverse, and it will tab your selection to the button in the bottom left of the window (which is off screen here), then you hit enter or spacebar to select it.
Interesting video as usual.... Impressed there are CRT TVsets around still. My wee country just about every one of the things is in landfill or sent to the likes of China for recycle....

It didn't take long for the STB cost to equal the down-payment on a flatscreen and the minefield of complaints about having black bars top and bottom to fit the 16:9 to a 4:3 was almost a nationwide outrage! Those friends whose kids have taken up the Maker hobby and the 'Pi have let me put an onboard 7" touch screen so the things totally standalone and no longer needs patching to an external screen..

I noticed you had trouble moving some windows far enough by grabbing the title bar. But, there's another way to do this. In Linux, you can move and resize by alt-dragging on any point of the window with the left and right mouse button respectively. F11 will also make your browser full-screen. And CTRL +/- zoom the website in and out.
A working mouse helps but the cursor won't go above the top of the screen. On a low resolution monitor some windows are larger than the screen. So you'd have to drag the tittle bar pass the top of the screen to access the bottom part of a tall window. That's where ALT-dragging comes in handy.
Thanks for doing this one! So I guess it doesn't have stereo audio this way as you hook the TV video yellow to the red on the adapter? I'm just trying to not throw away a working TV. It will look ok from 30' away :) I would pipe the audio to the amplifier beside the TV if the Pi can do stereo out this port.
Yes it does. I only hooked one up. The one I wasn't using was the other audio channel. The red carried the video and the yellow and white carried the left and right audio. White left, yellow right and red video.
Nice video! Very cool (and lucky for me) that Raspberry PIs has composite output built in! Is there a way to make the image smaller, so you can see the entire picture on the CRT? (Overscan options?)
For a geek convention we had the idea to have a slideshow "in a loop". Somebody got from a hotel around 12 retired CRT TVs for free... sole condition _"do not return them after the venue!"_ with those RPIs doing "ken-burns" it that was quite an attraction...
I use an rpi to display photos in a slide show. They look great because the images pan, tilt and zoom automatically. I also have a video of just waves crashing in on the beach and I leave that playing for ambiance. I use a couple of old RPI 1B just for that.
@@12voltvids I can recommend "infobeamer" (infobeamer.com) for that purpose. and in terms of CPU/GPU: 1B or zero is fully sufficient.

If you run Raspian in a single boot environment it will be option 2, but will switch to a low resolution output on HDMI if a display is connected. If you want PAL (default is NTSC) you need to edit config.txt before booting.
I have a DAEWOO 14 inch TV. I`m going to give this a try just for the hell of it. Even although i have a Panasonic 49 inch 1080p TV. I use my 14 inch for my BBC Master 128K Computer. To those of us here in the UK. And also for my SANYO VTC 5000 Betacord PAL. Witch i still use to this day.
Thank you very much ... i managed to get it work by your tutorial but it works only with connection Red -> Yellow , Yellow -> White , White -> Red ... and i checked by Multimetr ... its the Sony version of cables ... but the main problem is that the picture is Black/White. any idea what is wrong? ... anyway your tutorial is still the best i could find ... thank you very much.
It works until I get too the page where it asks me which os I would like to run. What happens it when I click to run Raspbian the screen goes black Edit: I am on a pretty darn old monitor. Im on an Amdek Color 1 so im just surprised anything showed up
I have tried this, and it seems to not be working. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 but as I understand it, they are all backwards compatible (same programming for all RasPi). If you could help in any way, that'd be great!
I have a PI1 2 and 3. When I built the boot disk I had to download specific versions of the OS based on the different models. Therefore I would say they are not backwards compatible, but what do I know. I use the pi1 as a streaming media player, and both the pi2 and 3 are sitting in a box and haven't been used in months.
In linux monitor set up you would right click anywhere on the screen, go to settings, and. do a search for the monitors built in information. You should be able to just set a resolution, also.

I think that if you switch the cables (colors) it will be fine. When I connect my yellow cable to the red it works 🤔. Thank you for the video anyway 🙂

I believe I explained that in this. As I left it it will boot in whatever it was left in when shut down.
How is youtube so fast on that Pi 3 under Chromium? My Pi 400 feels like its running in quicksand compared to this.
Just discovered this, myself. I had to swap the red (video, not right audio) and yellow (right audio, not video) RCA jacks, too.

I choose to output to composite video by pressing shift and key 4? Please write an answer.
what if my old sharp monitor doesn't have a ground. It just have yellow and white?\
Yellow video, white audio.
How do I go back to hdmi ?
is there a reason as to why the aspect ratio is still too wide after the overscan is disabled?
That would be the cheap tv with poor b+ regulation.

How about arduino
RPI is a computer (and has microcontroller functionality via the 40-pin GPIO port), Arduino is a microcontroller only
@@maicod
No comparison. A RPI is a full on computer, that runs Linux and can run thousands of apps..
Search for Arduino composite video on RUclips. People have figured out how to generate interesting pictures and animations at the very least
You can do it with ESP32
wales uk lol
I'm not watching this because I don't have a TV or Monitor with HDMI, I'm just a sucker for CRT and wanna use one on a CRT for fun (because emulator).
And this is how you can make it fire up in composite mode every time it starts.
