3.5" TFT Bipmap in 8 Bit Mode

Post by 2112 »

I have the 3.5" TFT Breakout 2050 running on an UNO configured to 8 bit mode. You provide an example displaying a bitmap image using SPI but not in 8 bit mode. I need to display a banner image and a few other images. Is bitmap the best way to do this or can this be done with a jpg or png?

Can you point me to an example or two displaying images in 8 bit mode?

Thank you

Its really easy to draw bitmaps. However, this is only supported when talking to the display in SPI mode, not 8-bit mode!
