Added ability to print bitmaps #11

Closed jacobsax closed 11 years ago

jacobsax commented 11 years ago

I have added the ability to print monochrome bitmaps using the printBMP(char[2048]) function, wich allows for bitmaps up to 128 by 128 to be displayed on the screen.

I have updated the read me and keywords, as well as creating an example sketch.

What other size bitmaps did you test on this? The 128 x 128 images work fantastic (great work!), but I'm having issues with other sizes. This is a great example, but if there are additional steps to make images less than 128 x 128 work well, that should go in the notes before we merge it.

Currently it's set up to just print 128 by 128 bitmaps (I modified it for a clients project) - I'll modify it within a few days to print any size of bitmap - They will have white space around them, placing the bitmap in the center of the screen.

I'd like to see it for that before we merge if you are planning on modifying it. It'd be nice to have that option in the library, to prevent any major confusion.

ToniCorinne commented 11 years ago

Closing this unless there are any additional updates to the bitmap additions.

Sorry, I've been overloaded with work recently, I will have it sorted by the end of June, don't know if you want to close this until then

ToniCorinne commented 11 years ago

I'll keep it closed til then just so it's not cluttering up our feed so we can keep an eye out for other issues. But definitely post it if you get a chance to work on this some more. We'd love to see how it looks and have it available for other users.
