Nice progress, really going together quick!

What screen did you choose?

I followed this: http://buzzingretrocomputing.blogspot.com/2017/04/raspberry-pi-3-and-composite-out-and.html This gave me a smooth image and sharper text, but had vsync issues. sdtv_mode = 16 # for NTSC progressive This worked better for me: sdtv_mode = 2 # for PAL progressive ... but I say better ...

Came here to say thank you for this! After 6 hours of debugging wires for my USB audio sound card RogerX in chat recommended this post and wow, it worked!
