Doc Henning,
I do realize the arduino is the bottle neck. My plan was a 'Loading' splash screen with a little progress bar. Like video games. (I am making a game, in fact).
I want a few sprites, icons, and images in the RAM at program start.. Probably about 80k.. I will be putting the images into a I2C Serial 128K or 256K EEPROM (24LC128\256) - then using the Arduino to read from EEPROM to display RAM.
I am gonna make it work.. I think the process is:
1)Load appropriate data from EEPROM into a byte array
2)Send RAM Access X\Y command to display
3) Send data from byte array to display RAM
4)Cancel RAM writing by sending any other command
5)To restore from RAM, use the 'read sector\column' code.
I will be working on it. I am not that good at writing communication routines with all of the bytes, timing, and bits and whatnot - but I can usually make things work when i want them to.
Thank you for the library! It is awesome.
Robert
