24LC256 bitmap storage for 33310 lcd | Solved.

hey there i seen a video from a few years back about pulling a bitmap from a 24lc256 eeprom to a 3310 lcd ,& im trying todo the same, i have my 24lc256 hooked up and i can write bytes and pages "i am alittle new to this" but when i try to put my image on the eeprom im not sure how to go about it. i tryed just putting 16 bytes of the image and try reading it back with this

"byte b = i2c_eeprom_read_byte(eeprom1, addr); 
while (b!=0) {
lcd.drawBitmap(b, 84, 38);
addr++; //increase address
b = i2c_eeprom_read_byte(eeprom1, addr); 
}

but it complanes about converting a byte into a char* :s
i not great with c codeing so any help would be great :slight_smile:

thanks for reading

I don't see anything in your code that looks as if it might move anything to the EEPROM.

I'm not familiar with the device, but I'd be inclined to rummage around for something with a name like i2c_eeprom_write_byte()...

Why not post your full code vs. a snippet?

and which 3310 library are you using ? there are several.... and i don't think any of them are included with the Arduino standard distribution

ar true soz guys the lib im useing is called PCD8544 so not much help there lol i'll post the bitmap function

full code

Okay... so you're using the library created by Carlos Rodrigues.

The issue you're facing is coming because the draw bitmap function is looking for an unsigned char array containing the bitmap. What you're doing in your code is reading & sending single bytes. So what you want to do is read the full bitmap into an array and then pass the array to the draw bitmap function. Since this is a 3310 LCD, memory shouldn't be a memory probelm since 8438 bitmap with 1 bit per pixel is 8438/8=399 bytes.

You can try something along these lines of logic...

unsigned char bitmap_array[399];

for(int j = 0; j < 399; j++)
{
	bitmap_array[j]=i2c_eeprom_read_byte(eeprom1,addr);
	addr++;
}

lcd.drawBitmap(bitmap_array, 84,38);

:slight_smile: thanks man thats what im looking for i think .
one question ithis line here

for(int j = 0; j < 399; j++)

going to read from address 0 through to address 399?

and as im writing this i just tested it and i think it worked :slight_smile: but what do you think would be the best way to write the whole image to the eeprom as atm im only writing 16 bytes of it and i think wire can only handle 32 and my eeprom is 64 per page :s its all rather confuseing for me atm lol but i'll get there.

so i guess my question how to write a 488 byte array to my eeprom ? im guessing i could then store about 65 images to one eeprom :slight_smile:

thank you very much for your help so far kind sir!

update

Video of how the image from eeprom looks

i tried to write the whole image but it failed so theres the 16 bytes as the first image the other two come from flash

heres the code as it is now

The error now seems to be in your bitmap write code... you're writing the last + 1 byte past the array over & over again to the eeprom in your for loop.

  for (int i=0; i < 489; i++){
    i2c_eeprom_write_byte(eeprom1,i,me[489]);
  }

Try something like this below (and possibly consider brushing up on for & while loops in C language from web tutorials)

int me_bitmap_start_address = 0;     //change this to wherever you want to store your bitmap on eeprom & keep track
int me_bitmap_length = 489;            //so that multiple bitmaps don't overlap

for(int j=0; j < me_bitmap_length; j++)
    i2c_eeprom_write_byte(eeprom1,(me_bitmap_start_address + j),me[j]);

i've added the me_bitmap_start_address bit just to emphasize that the location on eeprom that you store your bitmap in can start wherever in the address space (possibly not in the last few 489 bytes :)) - the eeprom address & the array subscript are different things

and a pic of what it looks like reading from eeprom

it looks like its shifted a small amount of the data over and over again :s

Bump , anyone know whats going on here , im willing to try anything :slight_smile:

2 suggestions -

  1. Firstly, your bitmap_array "me" is 504 bytes = 84 px * 48 px /8 pixels per byte. All your logic in the boot() function is running at 8438 and BTW - 8438/8 is NOT even equal to 489 bytes which is the array you are reading in. You need to go through ur program carefully & clean up the logic consistency.

  2. If the above doesn't sort out your issue - simplify the debugging issue into a sketch that does only reading & writing of a long string to & from the eeprom & see if that works properly. You can output the read with serial & read it on your comp & see how the reading & writing is behaving. Once you've cleaned up the logic of writing & reading a long string from eeprom, you've got a debugged approach to plug back in here.

:slight_smile: thanks man i've found a issue i made a simple read wirght code and just sent the first 16 again for testing and found its gets converted somehow not sure whats going on there

thanks again for helping me with this its driveing me nuts
anyways must sleep it 2:30am atm xD

Solved :slight_smile:

all it needed was a delay of 20ms after each write ofcourse i feel silly now after reading that in the datasheet at least twice.

working code for anyone who comes across this

ah yup - the write delay.... nothing like a bright new day to surface issues :slight_smile:

btw - given this is now working. You can consider splitting your sketch into two different sketches. A one time sketch that dumps your bitmaps into the eeprom and another regular sketch that shows your images in sequence on the lcd .

yep thats the first thing i just did then no point writeing them pic's each time i load it takes a far bit of time lol so yea i just made one to load all my pics then one to just load them from eeprom :slight_smile: . now i can save so much space im so happy lol working on that last night was a bad idea really needed the sleep , thanks for all your help its been great understanding these little chips abit better.

now i have to move on to color displays i have a few 6610 lcd's i think " there the 10 pinout jobs" going to be fun xD

If you could, it would be nice if you shared some pictures or information about this project in the exhibition area. :slight_smile:

I don't have a 33310 lcd display but, I find your project interesting!
