## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10135:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10135:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Transform digital display projects with the Atomic HDMI Display Base, an advanced FPGA-powered controller that bridges the gap between HDMI input and SPI-driven displays. This versatile controller utilizes the Gowin GW1NR-9C FPGA to deliver crisp 720P output through SPI emulation, making it an ideal solution for creating sophisticated display interfaces in educational, industrial, and smart home applications.

### Key Features

- High-definition 720P (1280x720) output capability
- Built-in LT8618SX RGB-to-HDMI chip supporting 24-bit colour depth
- Dual interface support with SPI (FPGA) and I2C (LT8618SX)
- Optimised frame rates of 12-16 FPS for smooth display performance
- Comprehensive development platform support for Arduino and ESP32-IDF
- Compact form factor measuring 64x24x29mm
 
### Technical Specifications

 | Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| FPGA Chip | Gowin GW1NR-9C |
| RGB-to-HDMI | LT8618SX with 24-bit colour |
| Maximum Resolution | 720P (1280x720) |
| Output Frame Rate | 1280x720 60Hz |
| Dimensions | 64x24x29mm |

### How to Use

Connect the Atomic HDMI Display Base to your development board using the SPI interface for display control and I2C for configuration. For optimal performance, use a [Core Electronics HDMI Cable 1M](https://core-electronics.com.au/hdmi-cable-1m.html) to connect your HDMI source. The display base requires a screen with adaptive resolution scaling support for proper operation.

Development can be carried out using either the Arduino IDE or ESP32-IDF framework, allowing for flexible implementation across various projects. Note that UIFlow is not currently supported.
