[Wear-Hard] Yet another Sony UX based Wearable

[Brian Kuriyama]

Actually, the Myvu Crystal only accepts composite video input (any variation
of PAL or NTSC it seems too) What I did was take an old camcorder cable
(100% compatible with the UX), and mate it with an ipod video cable I had
bought from ebay for $2. Once you figure out where ground is on the MyVu
unit, you can test for which connection recieves the video. After that, you
have to put a 100k ohm resistor (or something around there iirc) as a
pulldown from video to ground to act as the plug-and-play trigger (as any
standard "display" has this apparently except for the Myvu). After you've
stuck the pulldown in your UX should properly detect the display when
plugged in, and you're free to run whatever resolution you like out to it.

Good luck with your project!
