AN-00137 Serial Arduino Block Image Transfer

• App Notes
• 21 Jun. 2019

This application note shows how to perform Block Image Transfer (BLIT) using the Arduino Serial library. In this applica...tion note, an Arduino Uno board is used as the host, and a uLCD-32PTU is used as the slave display. First, the desired image is converted to an array, which contains all the hexadecimal values for the pixels of the image. A third party appl
