Image to Header File Converter for Arduino

The project provides a simple tool to convert images into C/C++ header files that can be used with Arduino. The generated header file contains the image data in a format suitable for rendering on displays such as OLED, TFT, or other graphical LCDs.

Features

• Converts images (e.g., BMP, PNG, JPG) into a C/C++ header file.
• Generates an array of pixel data for easy integration with Arduino projects.
• A Graphic user interface was added for easy use.

Requirements

• Python 3.x

Usage

1. Install dependencies:
   Ensure you have Python 3.x or latest. Then, install the required library:

   pip install pyqt5
   pip install pillow

   or for a faster method just run the run.bat file instead

2. Run:
   After running you can specify the option to customize the output:

   • Size: set the screen size of your project.
   • Output name: set the name for the header file or output.
   • Choose format: set the format colour to use (e.g., B&W, RGB565, RGB888).

3. Include the header file in your project:
   copy the generated output.h file into your Arduino project directory and include it in your sketch:

   #include "output.h"

4. Animated header:
   You need a split GIF for this purpose, use ezgif then split.
   now extract the folder, then use that folder you want to animate.
   use this method to animate your Arduino display project:

   void loop() {
     for (uint8_t i = 0; i < NUM_IMAGES; i++) {
       tft.display.pushImage(0, 0, IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT, images[i]);
       delay(80); // adjust the speed
     }
   }
