Hello,
I would like to take a bitmap PAINT file and convert it to its hex equivalent. I would then take these hex values and put them on a table in my cpu and programmatically load these values from my cpu to my TFT color LCD screen. My LCD has the color capability of 16 bits per pixel (5 bits for Red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for Blue) and it is 176 pixels across by 132 vertically. So I would need some utility to convert a BMP file to 16bit per pixel format. So for example, the first pixel of a bmp file would be converted to say, 4Ah and the second say, 22h and so forth until the last pixel.
Would anyone have an idea of where can get a utility like this. I have been looking on the Internet all day and I have found some utilities that do black and white. I would be nice if there is a simple to use software that can convert bmp files and also has fonts internally available!
All sugestions a re sincerely appreciated!
Rob
