TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Tiny Screen Color Values
« on: February 22, 2015, 05:35:14 PM »
I just got a TinyScreen and have started playing around with it and came across a basic question.
What are the constants for colors? Or more to the point, the color appears to be set using a uint8_t, but the values I see defined as constants for colors don't make sense to me. Can someone help me understand how colors are represented using uint8_t? Like RGB... or is there some set of defines I can use?
Here are some of the constants I see in examples:
#define BLACK 0x00
#define BLUE 0xE0
#define RED 0x03
#define GREEN 0x1C
#define DGREEN 0x0C
#define YELLOW 0x1F
I could figure it out on my own, but boy that's a lot values to test and figure out.
Thanks!!
