[Rainbowduino + 8x8 RGB] How to convert bitmap into the 8x8

Hi there :slight_smile:

I'm very newbie about electronic thing/stuff that's why I'm coming here in my despair. Thanks to be indulgent :smiley: !

Here the thing :

I've got a Rainbowduino with a 8x8 RGB on it connected with I2C to an Arduino Uno. The first test with basic animation works perfectly. Now my project is to convert a bitmap frame to display it on the 8x8 RGB.
I've googling a lot and I don't find any project/algorithm similar to my problem.

In my mind, I see the thing like this :

  • Load the bitmap
  • Analyse the color of each case of the matrix
  • Translate this color with some binary code
  • Put it on the Arduino

If someone had a idea on it, I'm very interested :slight_smile: !

Thank you for reading and have a good day :slight_smile: !

You mean like this ? (see attached)
