Have mentioned before about using Xap to display messages on a tv using a
pic and an OSD chip , no  response but i would still like to have a go
just to dip my toes in the xap waters so to speak........ I have had the
pic receiving serial messages  and displaying them on my tv using
hyperterminal to send the messages and was able to flash some messages by
using the ascii  bell character so i think that xap is just (hopefully
) a couple more notches up the rung ..........What i need is some simple
program were  i can type in the xap message and send it out the serial
port to the pic .. If anyone can help much appreciated................

page and click on the picture...............

The major problem with OSD is that the chip that is widely used Philips
STV5730a has I believe been discontinued by the manufacturer.

If however you know of any other chip that performs the same functions,
I'd be interested.
