I've actually got that link bookmarked, but I'm really looking for something I can buy and not have to build. I've tried "build it from a blog post" for something as cryptic as an HDMI display before, and it was a big waste of time and money when a critical step was left out.

Yeah you have to have a lot of engineering savvy to build stuff off blog articles and work out the missing bits.

I've built a few things this way including a complicated 20m transceiver and there are many pitfalls. Many a project ended up in the trash.
