Hi all!

I am playing with the display Ili9143 in FC7 with an Arduino Mega. Making a GPS clock in combination with a SHT21, temp and humidity sensor, I share later. Working perfect.

Does anybody know, is it possible to create or/and add bitmap picture like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ER1fbDoc20 in my program inFC7 or something similar in FC7?.

Hi Jorgen,

Does anybody know, is it possible to create or/and add bitmap picture

It sure is, simply add the Bitmap drawer component, point it at your gLCD and assign a bitmap file to the component. Currently only works with monochrome or 24-bit colour bitmaps. Monochrome will take up less ROM on your device. 8-bit bitmaps are on my to do list but not currently supported.

Here is the wiki page with some examples.

Do you need the ability to change colour like in the video? We could maybe do this with monochrome bitmaps and replace black with a different colour on colour displays?

Hi Ben!

Thank´s for answer.

You wrote: "Currently only works with monochrome or 24-bit colour bitmaps", Does it mean it is not possible with Ili9143 or only monocrome ?

And : "Do you need the ability to change colour like in the video? We could maybe do this with monochrome bitmaps and replace black with a different colour on colour displays?" Not nessesary, the link is only to show what I mean It is nice you have the 8 bit in your to do list.

After a click on your link, there are nothing "There is currently no text in this page."

Found it here: http://www.flowcode.co.uk/wikiv7/index.p ... b2297168a5

Thank´s.

Hi Jorgen,

Thanks for the bad link spot.

The bitmap drawer component will currently only work with monochrome or 24-bit colour bitmaps. Either type can be used with the ILI9143 display. You can simulate the component so you can see if it's going to work before compiling.

Let us know how you get on.

Thank´s Ben....
