2.5 Filename Convention
LCD header filenames are created using a naming convention. See convention examples below:
(Filename)_(bmp)_(<BPP value>bpp)_(Color Palette Size)_(lcd).(h)
Example 2.
Running the conversion utility on an 18bpp bitmap file creates:
(Filename)_bmp_18bpp_256k_lcd.h
Example 3.
Running the conversion utility on a 4bpp gray scale bitmap file creates:
(Filename)_bmp_4bpp_16gs_lcd.h
Example 4.
Running the conversion utility on a 1bpp bitmap file creates:
(Filename)_bmp_1bpp_bw_lcd.h
3 Troubleshooting
Q. Why do I get the message, “Error: <Filename> cannot be opened for reading”?
• Make sure filename is named properly, as outlined in the software specifications under naming
conventions. If file is damaged, the program will not import the image.
Q. Why do I get the message, “Error: <Filename> has a bad bitmap header”?
• The file must be a Windows™ .bmp file, not a file with an added .bmp filename extension.
Q. Why do I get the message, “Error: <Filename> is compressed or not X32”?
