Detailed Description

Represents the VGA 8 colors bitmapped controller.

This VGA controller allows just 8 colors, but requires less (8/3) RAM than VGAController, at the same resolution. Each pixel is represented by 3 bits, which is an index to a palette of 8 colors. Every 3 bytes of the frame buffer there are 8 pixels. For example, a frame buffer of 640x480 requires about 113K of RAM.

VGA8Controller output is very CPU intensive process and consumes up to 23% of one CPU core (measured at 640x480x60Hz). Anyway this allows to have more RAM free for your application.

This example initializes VGA Controller with 64 colors (16 visible at the same time) at 640x480:

fabgl::VGA8Controller displayController;
// the default assigns GPIO22 and GPIO21 to Red, GPIO19 and GPIO18 to Green, GPIO5 and GPIO4 to Blue, GPIO23 to HSync and GPIO15 to VSync
displayController.begin();
displayController.setResolution(VGA_640x480_60Hz);
