i2c2oled (little brother of tty2oled)

[marcelosofth]

Does anyone have 128x64 image collection for "yellow and blue" 2-color oled?

[venice]

Find some Pix here
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... ctures/Pix
and here
https://github.com/ingloriond/MiSter_I2 ... c2oled_pix

//Edit
Download the ZIP file from here https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... s/main.zip
Unzip it, search for PIX.

Voila, you have all PIX I know as I add all Pictures from ingloriond to my Repository.

[marcelosofth]

I'm creating all colors from scratch in the way that I like best, if anyone wants!
Ps. I wanted to learn how to make animated PIX!

I'm creating all colors from scratch in the way that I like best, if anyone wants, I can make it available for download!

Then please upload your pix here in a ZIP file.

Ps. I wanted to learn how to make animated PIX!

An animated PIX is not a real animation, it's just a set of Icons drawn over the base picture at a dedicated position in a timed order.

Here is an Example, it's the "Press Play on Tape" Animation. See https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... ed.sh#L407

Code: Select all

function pressplay () {
  local t=0;
  showpix pressplay                                       #Load Base Picture "pressplay.pix"
  # Testing Font-Based-Animation
  for (( t=0; t<5; t++)); do                              #Loop
    set_cursor 48 4                                       #SetCursor
    i2cset -y ${i2cbus} ${oledaddr} 0x40 ${itape1}  i     #Draw Tape Wheel 1 with Icon 1
    set_cursor 64 4                                       #SetCursor
    i2cset -y ${i2cbus} ${oledaddr} 0x40 ${itape2} i      #Draw Tape Wheel 2 with Icon 2
    sleep 0.3                                             #Wait
    set_cursor 48 4                                       #SetCursor
    i2cset -y ${i2cbus} ${oledaddr} 0x40 ${itape2} i      #Draw Tape Wheel 1 with Icon 2
    set_cursor 64 4                                       #SetCursor
    i2cset -y ${i2cbus} ${oledaddr} 0x40 ${itape1} i      #Draw Tape Wheel 2 with Icon 1
    sleep 0.3                                             #Wait
  done
}

Data of Wheel 1+2

Code: Select all

itape1="0x3C 0x5A 0x81 0xC3 0xC3 0x81 0x5A 0x3C"
itape2="0x3C 0x66 0xE7 0x81 0x81 0xE7 0x66 0x3C"

The first Wheel (itape1) is calculated out of...

I also saw an example of a slide, where the image is shifted to the right, very cool!

Follow the link, see what you think of the work, it is not complete but the main one is there!

The i2c2oled NCC1701 Demo?
That's Display based pixel scrolling.

//Edit
Nice Pictures, well done.
But you now that you need to convert them to B/W and pix format?
See https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... dification

...and renamed to the Cores name.

[Moondandy]

I don't know much about this project, but do you want an extra column on the tty2oled to track images created for this, or does it work differently?

[marcelosofth]

That's right "Venice" I haven't converted to .pix yet, but this is easy I've already tested it here, now like you said I have to rename it to the name of each "CORE" for display!

Ps.: I ended up selling my Mister for a very good price, and the other one I bought arrives next week, so that's where I can really test it out!

Ps. do you use some .pix as right scroll? if you use it, can you make a video for me to see?

Hardware Scrolling means for SSD1306 Oled, define the display area which should scroll and start scrolling.
It will continuously scroll until you stop it.

I am not sure, we will see.
Thanks for asking.

[marcelosofth]

Simply wonderful, mine is this SSD1306, I'm Noob, if you can I'd like you to teach me how to do it, I don't know anything about the command line! hahaha!

[venice]

...if you can I'd like you to teach me how to do it, I don't know anything about the command line! hahaha!

Teach? What exactly?

[rbz]

I am adding in support to view the i2c2oled pix files in the tty2oled pixviewer

@venice opened a PR in i2c2oled repo to add a workflow to generate the data file

Screenshot 2021-12-10 085022.png

[venice]

I am thinking about moving the i2c2oled pictures to the picture repository.
Would this help or make things easier?

//Edit
Idea dropped!

[marcelosofth]

Yes Venice, it would be perfect to move the images, accordingly! ^_^

Ps. Just amazing the .pix viewer on the site!

Is there somewhere to download all the full .pix "128x64" of Arcade games?

[venice]

Not that I know.

But you already made a lot of nice looking png’s.
They just need to be converted and renamed.
Could you do this?

[marcelosofth]

Friend "Venice" follow the link, I've already renamed, add more cores it and converted it to "pix" see if they're ok"

[venice]

Hi,
it looks to me the Header of your PIX is not what we need.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
logo=("`1c1#000000",
"01c1#ffffff",
/*1pixels1*/
"`````````````````

Working Header:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# 128x64 Pixel C64 Logo Picture in Pixart as Bash String-Array
logo=("111111111

And your PIX using the character "`" (accent grave) instead of the character "1".
Example:

Code: Select all

````````0000`````

must be

Code: Select all

11111111000011111

But many many thanks for your work.

[marcelosofth]

I just found out, and the problem was the "reaConverter Pro" program I used to convert from .PNG to .XPM, which program do you use to convert to XPM?

[venice]

Good Morning!

I use Gimp but with an B/W Picture in BMP Format as source, not an greyscale.
See attachment.

[marcelosofth]

Good morning friend, see if this way is correct!
https://www.sendspace.com/file/bgsf2w

A detail, in the case of the game "Golden Axe" the core is not "goldnaxe" but "jts16b3" which together represents all System16 games, how is it in this and several other cases?

[venice]

Some Systems using different "mra" files with the same core.
In this case the Value of "setname" is used instead of the corename.
Example
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade- ... er.mra#L14

Take a look in the google spreadsheet we created for tty2oled.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... NAnj0a4RCU
This will help you a lot.

[marcelosofth]

Perfect, what about the "pix" file I made, is it correct like that and can I go on with the process?

[venice]

Your 1942 was fine!

Btw, I updated a few PIX (Commando, TI-99_4A_alt, cclimber) because of format or character errors.

[marcelosofth]

Ready, everything converted and correctly, then if you can check and want to go up to the site, feel free ok!

[venice]

Hi@all,
I added Marcelo's Pictures to the Repository.
Most of them looking better than the old ones so I changed the old ones filename and added Macelo's one.

Double check the Pictures with the PIX Viewer...
https://venice1200.github.io/MiSTer_tty2oled_Pictures/#

...and apply your update.

Have fun

Many Thanks Marcelo!
How did you do the mass converting?

[marcelosofth]

Friend Venice, it is not possible to do the mass conversion in GIMP for image export, it is only allowed for "Save as..." and as .XPM uses "Export" it has to be really individual.
Ps.: I added all the images in "Layer" then I applied the conversion of "Indexed Mode" for all and I was exporting one by one, it took 1h20 to export 253 images!

Is it possible to download the images you publish on the site in .pix format?
