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”?
