In my previous post , I demonstrated basic exercises running on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W with CircuitPython 10.0.3, displaying graphics on a 1.28‑inch IPS module (GC9A01 + CST816S, 240×240 round, 4‑wire SPI) . In this post, I present exercises using CircuitPython 10.0.3 on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W to download a bitmap via WiFi, save it to the local file system, and display it on the GC9A01 LCD using OnDiskBitmap. The BMP in my test was resized and converted from JPG to BMP(240*240 RGB888) using FFmpeg . cpy_rpPicoW_gc9a01_OnDiskBitmap_wifi.py """ Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W/CircuitPython 10.0.3 with 1.28" 240x240 Round GC9A01 SPI IPS LCD Download bmp to local file system and display it using OnDiskBitmap ~ Single bmp. In this exercise, Pico 2 W download image from web server, save it on CircuitPython local filesystem, named "image.bmp, then display it on 1.28" 240x240 Round GC9A01 SPI IPS LCD using OnDiskBitmap. https://coxxect.blogspot.com/2026/01/...

To resize and convert jpg to bmp/mp4 to gif using FFmpeg. Download and Install FFmpeg on Windows 11 1. Download FFmpeg • Go to the official FFmpeg download page ( https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html ). • Get packages & executable files. • Choose a trusted Windows build provider (e.g., gyan.dev). • Download the archive ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z (this version is lightweight and sufficient for most users). • Extract the archive to a folder, for example:      C:\ffmpeg\ 2. Set Environment Variable PATH 1. In Windows search, type “Environment Variables” and open Edit the system environment variables. 2. In the “System Properties” window, click Environment Variables…. 3. In the User variables section, find Path → click Edit. 4. Add a new entry:      C:\ffmpeg\bin 5. Save and close. 3. Test Installation Open Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell, then type: ffmpeg -version R...
