| We just dug up this tutorial on creating your own VGA adapter, making it possible to hook your Xbox 360 up to a VGA computer monitor. Of course, you could just purchase this at a local shop, but where's the sense of achievement in that? Remember, if you build this wrong you could trash your box. Only attempt this if you know what you're doing. Since getting the xbox 360, I’ve had it hooked up to my old 27″ RCA standard def TV. I believe the TV model is an RCA Crapola. So I undertook to hook it up to a computer monitor (a 21″ Samtron) where at least I could get some decent resolution. I took the cable that came with the Xbox360 and spliced it to an old VGA extender cable I had laying around. here’s the pic of the Xbox360 pinouts: (Click on the image for the full size image) armed with the the pinouts, you can easily connect the Xbox360 the your computer monitor. Xbox Connector: Pin 2 - *ground 5 - to VGA pin 15 8 - to your Audio Out (Right channel) 9 - *ground 10 - to VGA pin 13 11 - *ground 14 - to VGA pin 1 15 - *ground 21 - link to 22 22 - link to 21 23 - to your Audio Out (Left channel) 24 - *ground 25 - to VGA pin 14 26 - *ground 27 - to VGA pin 3 28 - *ground 29 - to VGA pin 2 30 - *ground * - connect all ground together VGA Connector: Pin 1 - to xbox360 pin 14 2 - to xbox360 pin 29 3 - to xbox360 pin 27 5 - *ground 6 - *ground 7 - *ground 8 - *ground 10 - *ground 13 - to xbox360 pin 10 14 - to xbox360 pin 25 15 - to xbox360 pin 5 * - connect all ground together Source Check the picture below and this should all make sense. Take a peek at the VGA and RGB pinouts here. |
