Detailed Description

Represents the VGA text-only controller.

The text only VGA controller allows only text, but requires less than 50K of RAM. Resolution is fixed at 640x480, with 80 columns by a selectable number of rows, 16 colors.

Text only output is very CPU intensive process and consumes up to 30% of one CPU core. Anyway this allows to have more than 290K free for your application.

Graphics (Canvas) aren't possible. Also, some character styles aren't also possible (double size, 132 columns, italic).

This example initializes VGA Text Controller with 64 colors (16 usable):

fabgl::VGATextController VGAController;
// the default assigns GPIO22 and GPIO21 to Red, GPIO19 and GPIO18 to Green, GPIO5 and GPIO4 to Blue, GPIO23 to HSync and GPIO15 to VSync
VGAController.begin();
VGAController.setResolution();
