Week13 .- Output devices

For this week I´ve been trying to make the hello.video board without much succes.
I assembled two boards:
In both I could program the ATtiny, this was the outcome in the terminal:


C:\Users\Japi\Documents\My Box Files\___MASTER___\__fabAcademy__\Week_13_Output
devices\hello video>make -f hello.video.44.make program-usbtiny
avr-gcc -mmcu=attiny44 -Wall -Os -DF_CPU=20000000 -I./ -o hello.video.44.out hel
lo.video.44.c
avr-objcopy -O ihex hello.video.44.out hello.video.44.c.hex;\
   avr-size --mcu=attiny44 --format=avr hello.video.44.out

but when I plugged in into an LCD monitor it didn´t work, I just couldn´t get any image, just a no input signal. I built the second one because I realized the ATtiny got too hot when connected either to the FABisp or to the battery. With the second one I was extremely careful soldering the ATtiny and all the components, and still didn´t work:

hello.video board

This time the ATtiny temperature was fine but, again I couldn´t get any image.
I checked the board with the multimeter, continuity and voltage.
Between signal and ground of the jumper 3 (video output) I got the next:

	1.-	2,53 V measured as continuous
	2.-	Oscillating numbers between 0,6 and 0,9 measured as alternating current.
	

I don´t know how to go on with this board...
