Free VideoOverlayShield v.10.02 PCB via Facebook comments

Every Friday we give away some extra PCBs via Facebook. The first few people who comment on this at Facebook get a free PCB. More PCBs via Twitter on Tuesday and the blog every Sunday.

This week we have a guest free PCB, two VideoOverlayShield v.10.02 boards from Low Voltage Labs.  The Arduino compatible shield board overlays text on analog video, using the Maxim MAX7456 on-screen display chip. This board allows easy overlay of text onto an analog video signal, NTSC or PAL. Connect this board to your favorite Arduino processor board to get started. Eric gave us a couple of these boards at Maker Faire, and now you can grab one from the free PCB drawer. Also available for 9 bucks from the Low Voltage Labs store.

Don’t forget there’s free PCBs three times a every week:

  • Free PCB Sunday. The classic. Every week, right here on the blog
  • Tweet-a-PCB Tuesday. Follow us and get boards in 144 characters or less
  • Facebook PCB Friday. Free PCBs while you wait for the weekend

Some stuff:

  • Yes, we’ll mail it anywhere in the world!
  • We’ll contact you via Facebook for shipping info.
  • Limit one PCB per address per month please.
  • Like everything else on this site, PCBs are offered without warranty.

We try to stagger free PCB posts so every time zone has a chance to participate, but the best way to see it first is to subscribe to the RSS feed, follow us on Twitter, or like us on Facebook.
