I equipped my university graduation cap with a 32ร32 LED array, an Arduino Mega, three SPDT switches, a 2000mAh li-ion battery, lots of wire, and lots of Arduino code. By doing this I was able to display numerous animations, pictures, and text on the LED grid. This repository contains all of the Arduino code and bitmaps that I used to make it.
BMPformat.pde
will convert a 32x32 px image into a formated header file containing the array of hex values to be copied into PROGMEM
space which the Adafruit library uses to display the image on the panel.
- Open
BMPformat.pde
in Processing and Run it. - Select a 32x32px bitmap image in the file chooser dialog.
- The resulting header file should be written to a subfolder called headerFiles in the same directory along side the image.
