About Image to MCU Array Converter
This tool converts images into C/C++ arrays suitable for microcontroller projects. It supports both 8-bit grayscale and 1-bit black & white modes, making it perfect for various types of displays and memory-constrained applications.
Features
- Two conversion modes:
- 8-bit grayscale (1 pixel per byte)
- 1-bit black & white (8 pixels per byte)
- Customizable output dimensions
- Adjustable threshold for B&W conversion
- Live preview of processed image
- Color inversion option
- Memory-efficient output for MCUs
Usage Examples
// Arduino 8-bit Grayscale Example
const uint8_t image_gray[] PROGMEM = {
// Each byte represents one pixel (0-255)
0x00, 0x40, 0x80, 0xFF, // Example values
};
void setup() {
display.begin();
display.drawGrayscaleImage(0, 0, image_gray, 128, 64);
display.display();
}
// Arduino 1-bit B&W Example
const uint8_t image_bw[] PROGMEM = {
// Each bit represents one pixel (0=black, 1=white)
// One byte contains 8 pixels
0b10101010, 0b11001100, // Example values
};
void setup() {
display.begin();
display.drawBitmap(0, 0, image_bw, 128, 64, WHITE);
display.display();
}
