hey, so hows the project going... complete yet..?
I'm looking to do the same as what you did or are doing.. trying to get to display a BMP file from a micro SD card to a tft display using a dsPIC30F4011... now my trouble actually understanding how to get that BMP file..from the microSD to the dsPIC to the TFT display.....
my tft display is 320x240 pixels... 8bit, i ordered it from newhaven displays...
any help..

also, is there any difference.. in using a micro SD, and a regular SD card that you've used...? other then just the physical size...

Not sure i hear there is but i never ran into it. I used both with no issues....

From SD to PIC to LCD is very hard unless you have a software library for opening BMPs... I converted all images to uncompressed images with no header to use. Mainly because BMP file organization is funny and complex

Thanks for the link, just about to start reading that!

hey atomsoft.. how'd you manage to convert the image to an uncompressed image without the header...?
what format was the image...?

i found a site with an IMG to HEX converter...

Yeah i made my own in VB6 .. i lost it though. Im making a new one in VB NET tho! It will be done in a couple days... i have so many other projects being worked on.

My program will give the option for 8bit or 12bit and allow to save as file or copy to clipboard. I might add a option to open the saved file and also save as a jpg or something so you can restore lost images.
