Read bmp image file from sd card Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

When I test with an image (006.bmp from the Adafruit site) on 'Circuitpy', I get an error like 'True color BMP unsupported'.

You are getting these from here?

Describe how you are downloading and copying them to your CIRCUITPY folder. It seems like something is altering the image format.

Hi,
Okay, I figured out what the problem was.
There was only one thing I hadn't tested so far, and that was my SD card.
It was working fine on my PC, and I had used it with an 'Adalogger Featherwing' without any problems. So I was not suspicious.
But for images, the amount of data to be transferred is more important. So I put in a good 8GB SD card and class 10 and everything works fine.
Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciated it.
Have a nice day and take care of yourself

Ugh. That's annoying. Good job figuring it out though. Thanks for letting us know. Hopefully it will all just work now. Have fun!
