Download the ZIP

end extract it.

You can try Imagemagick command line conversion as well.

The result of

Code: Select all

magick mogrify -monochrome -negate -format xpm *.png

was not bad.

Hi "Venice" I made some final changes, fixed the 4 "1943", incorporated some "Alt" images for mine that were better and added 2 more "Yie Ar Fung-Fu and Coco3" ok!

I replaced the 1943 Pictures and added the new ones.
Please upload next time only new or changed pictures.
Many Thanks

@All
Merry christmas and a happy new year !

Good morning "Venice" I'm making a great addition now to everything that was missing, and I found it fantastic the "Imagemagick" helps and a lot, however, when doing the command line, the conversion was done but inverted the black/white, I searched the internet as reverse this but I couldn't, see an example attached!

https://www.sendspace.com/file/w8ao9n

Ps. If you can solve this it will help me a lot!

Does this help?
https://superuser.com/questions/1194468 ... magemagick

The imagemagick command line from above includes the
-negate option to invert the b/w picture.
Maybe you need to remove it.

Posted: **Mon Dec 27, 2021 2:37 pm**

Unfortunately it didn't work, if I remove the "-negate" or "--monochrome" I need help to solve this, I decided to do all the colors of Arcade, it's been a lot of work, but I'm going to finish it, there will be more than 100 new ones images ^_^

Please post one of your PNG‘s here.

//Edit
It looks to me Gimp uses " " (Space) for drawn pixels and "." (Dot) for not drawn pixels in a b/w xpm picture

The ImageMagick picture is the opposite to the Gimp Picture.
" " (Space) and "." (Dot) are swapped.

The Zoomed Textfiles tell/show us the truth.
See:

Gimp-ImageMagick.png

The ImageMagick "-negate" Option does not really help as only the xpm picture header is changed.
Means, for an correct xpm to pix conversion the header must be analysed.

For Gimp pictures we need

Code: Select all

Replace all Dot's "." with the Number "0"
Replace all Spaces " " with the Number "1"

For ImageMagick Pictures we need

Code: Select all

Replace all Dot's "." with the Number "1"
Replace all Spaces " " with the Number "0"

Actually only Gimp Pictures are correct converted by the XPMtoPIX Tool.

How sad, after all I'll have to convert one by one again in the Gimp, damn it!

Minor Script Update.
The i2c2oled Script got the new Option "rotate" which rotates the screen 180 degrees.
Taken from MickGyvers forked Version

Many Thanks.

Muito obrigado pelas muitas fotos

/ Many many many thanks for your work.
The pictures are uploaded to the Picture-Repository and ready for the i2c2oled "updater".

Are the sdl and scl pins on the mister arduino headers the same as the rtc board? I am running a mt-32 pi hat for midi and it connects to the sdl and scl pins on the de-10 nano. Curious if this would cause an issue before I start taking everything apart. Also it shows to connect to 3v, but I see the specs on the 2864 128x64 OLED Display SSD1306 Driver I2C IIC display can run 3-5v -- any reason for running 3? Thanks.

The "Arduino" Header is connected to the FPGA Part of the DE10-Nano.
The so called "LTC" Header, where the RTC is connected to, is connected to the HPS(ARM) Part of the DE10-Nano.
I am running Display and MT32-pi together, no problem.

3V and 9V are available at the LTC Header, but no 5V if I am correct.

Just like to say thumbs up to venice - fantastic project bro! I found a 5v off the ADC header on the de-10 ((10 pin header by the ethernet)) pin 1 is 5v and pin 10 is gnd. The 3v on the rtc was a little to small for my aging eyes. The IC display can run 3-5v. I also removed the wire from the power and ground dupont connectors and cut the plastic short where the wire goes is so the analog board can still fit and then pushed them back in. I had angle header pins so I soldered that on to the rtc -- shows 3, but only needed 2.

Great to see another working i2c2oled.

Maybe the contrast value will be helpful for you.
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... led.sh#L60

In „testing“ the contrast is part of the User INI File.

"Testing" got an Minor Update.
Added User-INI Option "BLACKOUT"
Default: BLACKOUT="yes"
Set to "yes" (default) for the short "Display-Blackout" before a Picture change. "no" = no Blackout.

Happy New Year and all the best

Hellou Mr. Venice, here's a little update ok!

We got a new Version of the XPMtoPix Converter, compatible with XPM files created with Gimp and ImageMagick.
Many Thanks to MickGyver for this.

Gimp has the XPM export function but for batch conversion it easier to use ImageMagick with the commands

Code: Select all

magick mogrify -monochrome -format xpm *.png  //convert all png's to xpm
magick mogrify -monochrome -format xpm *.bmp  //convert all bmp's to xpm

But Gimp and ImageMagick create different XPM Headers.
The new version of the converter analyses the Header before conversion to make sure the PIX file will be correct.

Note: The Test-Pictures for the conversion used only B&W as colors.

Get the new Converter from here: https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_i2 ... PMToPIX_v2
The Tool need .NET Core Framework 3.1+.

Usage:
Drop the folder containing your XPM's onto the Batch file called XPMToPIX_normal.bat to get the XPM's converted with correct colors.
Check the Readme as well.

Question:
Has someone i2c2oled testing running?

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2022 5:41 pm**

ALELUIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! ^_^

Posted: **Fri Jan 07, 2022 5:53 pm**

I just tested ImageMagick + PMToPIX_v2 and now it works perfectly!!!

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 2:48 pm**

Venice, mine doesn't have the file "i2c2oled-user.ini" could you send me the file for me to add in my directory "i2c2oled" ?
Note: How does this animation work?

When I run "update_i2c2oled.sh" will it download and replace files from the "PIX" directory?

Posted: **Sat Jan 08, 2022 7:06 pm**

Yes, make a backup of your data before you run the update script.

I will add in the next days a private picture folder which has priority and will not been touched by the updater.
