I too have colour issues with all the bitmaps on my clue. Often it makes the programs unusable.
I tried both uf2's and libraries, also unplugged the screen and back, the problem remains.
Hope someone figures this one out.

Here is a photo of my clue running the arcada imageloader with Carter's testcard bmp:

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
hi carter,
i read this post today
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=163189
it details exactly what i have been experiencing and trying.
could the problem be with the programming of the video chip?
anything you want me to try?

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
The program works just fine but both egg bitmaps are rendered as white.
This situation is very frustrating as most clue programs use bitmaps in some form, I want to use then in mine, but cant because the bitmaps are not correctly rendered.
If a software fix cannot be found please replace my clue, I'll gladly send my one back for testing.
Than you.

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
What happens if you run the color test UF2 from here?

I get all the colours as the photo, nothing wrong here.

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
Can you attach the .bmp file you are using above. I'll run it here and see what happens.

What .bmp files do you mean?

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
I tried the file upload but it tells me that the extension bmp is not allowed.
The bmp I'm using is the adafruit-testcard-a-240x240.bmp.

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
Hmm. Yah, might be one of the blocked extension. Could just change .bmp to something else.
But...let's try the other way. With the egg drop BMPs. You are getting those from here?

Describe how you are downloading them and copying them to the CLUE.

Re: Bitmap colours are not mapping corectly
I copied the project zip, unzipped it then copied the bmp's to my clue folder by dragging them there.
When I click on them they show on my pc pic viewer, they are there in good form.

What OS are you running on the PC?
