VGA 6-6-6 bits RGB DAC
Quite the hack! Does the job.
Bottom wires come from the VGA cable, white and brown are horizontal/vertical synch.
This was tested on the Mojo v3, de10nano and IceStick.
Note that on boards with two side-by-side PMOD connectors (e.g. IceBreaker, ECPIX5) you may use an existing VGA PMOD such as the one by Digilent.
