Easily display images and graphics from your Pico or Pico W to an HDMI monitor or TV with the DVI Sock. With a digital video output (DVI), it is compatible with any HDMI display. Please note that it only supports graphics and not audio.
This breakout board was created with inspiration from Wren6991's Pico DVI Sock and their impressive demos showcasing the Raspberry Pi Pico's ability to drive an HDMI display. By cleverly utilizing overclocking and the RP2040's PIO system, this affordable microcontroller is capable of producing high-quality video output. It's a valuable tool for creating demos or experimenting with digital video generation.
This breakout board features no functional parts. It is solely a connector designed to accommodate HDMI or DVI cables, along with 220 ohm resistors in a series. For use, simply connect it to the lower pins of your Pico board, or solder it onto the ‘end’ as a miniature PCB sock. The following connections are established:
- GP12 to D0+
- GP13 to D0-
- GP14 to CK+
- GP15 to CK-
- GP16 to D2+
- GP17 to D2-
- GP18 to D1+
- GP19 to D1-
- Pico GND to GND
We also breakout the 5V, GND, Hot-Plug Detect, CEC and Util pins, for more advanced hacking. Note that while technically you're supposed to provide 5V to the DVI port, it isnt convenient to do so on the Sock so it's left disconnected. Since the 5V is used for the I2C EDID EEPROM and we don't care about it, the 'Sock will work just fine without.
If you want a more fully-featured DVI interface for your Pico, check out the DVI PiCowbell or the all-in-one Adafruit RP2040 DVI Feather.
