i am just looking to put a couple bit maps on a ST7565 (128 x 64, serial if it matters) anyway that makes sense,
i want to store the picture, but i don't want to waste space on the controller because i did something stupid, hehe
i am using windows 7, and can get comfortable with what ever type of tool, i have no problem learning, just want to make sure i am learning the right way 
i have linx too if needed.
