HELP!!!! I'm new to HEW!

I'm working on a project and I have the TFT_LCDo Direct Drive Demo Kit. I've played with the demos that come along with the kit, but I would like to possibly create my own demo and add pictures. Any suggestions on how to get started? Does anyone know how to convert standard pictures from a digital camera to the format necessary to display using the demo kit? Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Re: HELP!!!! I'm new to HEW!

If I am not mistaking all you would need to do is probably resize the image to a 320 xs 240 pixel size with 16 bit-per-pixel color depth. I think that can be done with windows paint or something like photoshop.

 

In paint there is a resize option under image. In photoshop usually when you save as the picture you can specify those details.

 

Now for how to use the API for your demo I would go to the documentation page of renesa: http://america.renesas.com/fmwk.jsp?cnt=doc_child.htm&fp=/products/mpumcu/h8_family/h8_lcd/child_folder/&title=Documentation

We use Photoshop Elements here.

Take the picture, and either resize to 320x240 (QVGA) if the aspect ratio is already correct - or crop it to the same size (QVGA).

Save it as an 8bit or 16bit BITMAP (*.bmp) and either include it in the project using the binary linker (if you have the latest drivers) or use the BIN_to_MOT tool to create an image for the external Flash.

Pay special attention to the name of the bitmap if you are planning on a replacement of the original.

 

See also the thread in this forum from yesterday that was similar.
