It's Adafruit_ImageReader exercises run on Raspberry Pi Pico to load images from SD Card, and display on 320x240 IPS SPI ILI9341 Module using using Adafruit_ILI9341 library. Basically follow the page Adafruit GFX Graphics Library Loading Images For 320x240 IPS SPI ILI9341 part using Adafruit_ILI9341 library, refer: ~  Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) + 3.2inch IPS SPI Module ILI9341 (using Adafruit_ILI9341 library)  It will also install Adafruit GFX Graphics Library as dependence. This exercise run on Raspberry Pi Pico in Earle Philhower's Arduino core (Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040). refer: ~ Install Earle Philhower Raspberry Pi Pico Arduino core . Currently Adafruit_ImageReader support uncompressed 24-bit color BMPs only, refer: ~ Convert image to 24-bit color BMPs using GIMP  to prepare s1.bmp ~ s12.bmp, save in root directory of SD card. Install Adafruit_ImageReader and dependence in Arduino IDE Library Manager. Connection: ILI93...

Install Earle Philhower Raspberry Pi Pico Arduino core to fix error: 'rp2040' was not declared in this scope

It's next Adafruit_ImageReader exercises run on Raspberry Pi Pico to load images from SD Card, and display on 320x240 IPS SPI ILI9341 Module using using Adafruit_ILI9341 library , following Adafruit GFX Graphics Library > Loading Images . But, if compile using Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 Boards, will fail with error: 'rp2040' was not declared in this scope It's another page by Adafruit, suggest Earle Philhower's Arduino core to program RP2040 in Arduino . This video show how to install Earle Philhower Raspberry Pi Pico Arduino core on Arduino IDE 2. In Arduino IDE > File > Preferences... Add the line in Additional Boards Manager URLs. https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json Install Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 by Earle F. Philhower III in Boards Manager. Select board of Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 > Raspberry Pi Pico If fail with error like: Fatal ...

Convert image to 24-bit color BMPs using GIMP (used for Adafruit_ImageReader)

Image
In coming exercise ( Adafruit_ImageReader exercises run on Raspberry Pi Pico to load images from SD Card, display on 320x240 IPS SPI ILI9341 ), I will follow the " Adafruit GFX Graphics Library " to load images from SD Card using Adafruit_ImageReader . Currently only uncompressed 24-bit color BMPs are supported. This video show steps to convert image to 24-bit color BMPs using GIMP.
