Raspberry Pi VGA Module

Referred to as VGA adapter or Passive VGA adapter for Raspberry Pi A+ / B+ / 2B / 3B / Zero. The Raspberry Pi has an HDMI port for connecting a display. If your monitor only has VGA, you will need to use an adapter. Because this requires digital-to-analog conversion, these adapters can be quite expensive and draw a lot of power.

Unlike composite video, the DPI interface can be driven independently of HDMI.

Since the module uses most of your GPIO pins, you lose access to them.

How to use

Edit the /Boot/config.txt file with vim.tiny or another editor. and change as follows:

framebuffer_width = 800

framebuffer_height = 600

dpi_group = 2

device_tree = bcm2710-RPI-3-b.dtb

dpi_mode = 86

dtparam = i2c_arm = off

dtparam = spi = off

dtparam = uart0 = off

dtparam = uart1 = off

dtoverlay = PI3-disabled-bt-overlay

dtoverlay = vga666

enable_dpi_lcd = 1

display_default_lcd = 1

force_pwm_open = 0

dtparam = sound = on

start_x = 1

gpu_mem = 128

Disable all GPIO pins for proper operation.
We recommend using 800x600 resolution.
Higher resolution will slow down your Pi and take up more RAM.

Note: This add-in card uses all of the GPIO pins, so with VGA adapter It may not be possible to use other add-on cards at the same time.
