TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Re: Converting Bitmap Images for Use With TinyScreen+

« on: August 12, 2019, 02:50:08 PM »

Hi Sakuyal,

It's funny I went through the exact same process as you a couple of weeks ago while I was writing the Minecraft Compass Tutorial https://tinycircuits.com/blogs/learn/minecraft-compass for the TinyScreen+.

It turns out you can display about 13-15 bitmaps within the flash and RAM.

I have attached the compass code here, a converter that actually works, and the images I converted!

Basically, all you have to do is create a Sprite object and associate it with a bitmap in a header file:

Code: [Select]

Sprite compass1 = {offscreen, -14, 96, 96, 0, minecraft_compass1};

In this case, minecraft_compass1 is a bitmap within sprites.h that was generated with the attached converter.

Please let me know if you have any more issues with this project

It depends on the voltage drop of your LED. Most likely, you will still need a small resistor.

However, if the voltage drop is very near 3.3v, which is quite possible with a white LED, then you will not need the resistor.

I would try using this extension by Microsoft.  https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino

Also, if you are ok using visual studio, I can confirm that debugging TinyCircuits products is fairly easy using the visual micro extension for visual studio.

Let me know if you need any further help, I will be happy to post a guide.
