Display Custom Image on EVE3-50A-TPN

Post by alphaaviral »

Hi,

I got my EVE3 running with support from Matrix Orbital, although my application requires custom images and widgets to be displayed on the LCD. The documentation does not seem very clear about how to do that. I cannot figure out how to convert images to ARG565 format and how to upload and display them. Also, is it possible to create custom widgets and display them from copro commands?

I'll appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks!

The Eve Assetbuilder is available on bridgeteks website [1] it can be used to convert and upload images to the module over USB when used in combination with our USB bridge [2] but it also offers the option of writing them to disk in various formats for further use.

as for the widgets, there are quite a few available and documented, in section 5.2 of the FT81X Series Programmers Guide [3]

Greetings,
