Display an image on LCD

Post by cobra1 »

Using a KS0108 LCD and also a PIC 18f4685

Can flowcode be used to convert a Bmp or Jpg to show on the LCD?

If it can does anyone know how??

I can draw the image using loads of draw line commands but this would become a major headache after a while

Hello,

It should be possible to load a bitmap onto say a memory chip or a SD card and then read the image back to display onto the LCD. Other then doing this you could use large arrays to hold the image data onboard the microcontroller. There seems to be conversion programs available for converting bitmaps and jpegs into arrays of data.
