Display images in c++


I want to make a program that will display pictures (eventually video with sound too) on a small lcd screen, I wan't to use an atmega 328 chip with an sd card to store the images. Any help that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • It all depends on what interface the screen uses.

    Generally text LCDs have serial interfaces http://dioioib.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-lcd-screen-interface-on-atmega32.html or http://www.engineersgarage.com/embedded/avr-microcontroller-projects/interface-lcd-circuit/ with a few control codes for flashing/reversed characters.

    I think video might be a bit optomistic with that chip - although I have done video test pattern generators by just bit-twiddling an output line.

    ps. Haven't tried it but this SoftwareVGA looks interesting
