Introduction

ESP8266 is not powerful enough to handle compress format as jpeg, png... etc. So yours pictures has to follow a special organisation/format.

Hopefully, the frontend build in upload tool do all the conversion for you.

  • Only Bitmap with 24 bits per pixel (or 8 bits per color) are supported. If there is a problem with such a Bitmap, try to save it in bmp3 format.
  • Your Bitmap must be rotate by 90°. ImagePainting2 will display Bitmap line by line from the left to the right.
  • The width of your Bitmap has to be the same than the length of your LED strip or your Bitmap will be crop.
