Need example code for loading bitmap FT81X shield and Arduino
Hi,
I have a 7-inch display with resistive touch screen, an FT81X-shield and an Arduino Uno. The setup is working nicely. I can draw primitives on the screen, but I can't figure out how to load bitmaps from the SD card and display them on the screen.
I have two question:
1. Does anyone have example code that works for loading bitmaps?
2. Can anyone tell me what I need to change to get the EVE2-examples on the FTDI webpage to work? I am not able to make any of them work with my setup. The only examples I have managed to get to work are the four examples on the Newhaven Github.
Regards,
Oivind

Hi ogee,
Our "FT_App_Keyboard" example code on our Github can be referenced as it uses code to generate a Bitmap onto the EVE2 screen. Please take a look there to see if it will be helpful.
When downloading project files from FTDI's example page, the settings for SPI type, display resolution and chip selection in the Platform.h file must match the configurations that are set in our example code for the display you are working with.
