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.
< H3>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
< DIV>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.
