This is Arduino code for the SecKC Speaker Name Badge.
Currently, the code was designed and tested on: Node MCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) and 1.44 inch TFT SPI 128x128 LCD Display.
Below is a list of items that should be upaded in order to make this badge your very own:
- Within the main Arduino file BadgeFinalTemplate.ino, update String handle = "PutHandleHere";
- Within the bitmaps.h file, update const uint16_t Avatar [] PROGMEM =
Below are instructions on how to have your own custom avatar on the badge:
- Download your custom avatar image
- Open image in an image editor (mspaint for example) and resize the image to no larger than a 128x128 pixel size
- Save image as a 24-bit bmp file
- Use an LCD Image Converter such as (https://www.riuson.com/lcd-image-converter) to open the image
- Once image is open in LCD Image Converter, click "Options" then "Conversion"
- Change Preset to Color R5G6B5
- Under the Prepare tab, change the Type to Color
- Under the Image tab, change the Block Size to 16 bit
- Once done, click Show Preview and copy the hex code
- Within the bitmaps.h file, find the const uint16_t Avatar [] PROGMEM = {} section and replace the current code with the new code inside the {}. This creates an image matrix of your avatar
Utilize an LCD Image Convertor to take your 128x128 image and convert it to 16-bit hex values. Then copy the values into the bitmaps.h file matrix.
Once display is hooked up to the board and the display has been successfully tested, open Arduino IDE and push the Arduino and bitmaps.h file to the board!
If there's any updates that want to be done, feel free to make this badge your own and customize it further! THis is just the first iteration of the SecKC Speaker Name Badge!
