oled pics scrambled ?

Shanan Clark

hi
ok worked out some earlier issues
however when i use the 'OLED expansion control' editor i can upload an image and displays nice , but if i use the editor and upload the bmp or jpg image and then use the terminal to 'draw' its all crazy crap on the screen
is there a good programme and i will need to know what specs to set the image too, to get the image good

if i use OLED expansion control and 'save to omega' it doesn't save as a viable look up file - it seems to only display the file at that point in time, or at least i havn't been able to access/view it? as the 'oled expansion control' displays it correctly

how do i upload a bmp or jpg file for easy look up?

@Shanan-Clark the Console OLED app actually takes the bmp/jpg file and converts it into a format the OLED display can understand.
When you try to draw a bmp or jmp directly, it will try to write the bmp/jpg encoded data and you end up with a bunch of nonsense on the screen.

Yeah, the 'Save to Omega' button is acting up. The last image displayed on the screen using the OLED Console App will be a temporary file located in /tmp
Try running ls -ltr /tmp and finding a file with a name like /tmp/tmp.<some hash> for example: /tmp/tmp.iekIIJ
The latest one will hold the image data, move that to your /root directory and you'll have the oled image data of the last image displayed!

Awesome thanks! I thought it wasn't working as my unit will not register to the cloud service although i can log in.

Fun stuff playing with new toys.
