hi
He/she asks on oled
How do I do to recall from tails ROBOBASIC an image on OLED?
I would want to change expression (image) to ROBONOVA for every different routine
I for example call martial_arts_pose I stamp image hard
I call Dance I stamp image smile
How Robobasic I recall code in spin OLED?
thanks

You do need to put the files onto the Micro SD card from a card adapter in the PC. The SD card must be formatted as FAT16.

I choose not to use Graphics Composer, because when it puts files onto the SD card it seems to use a special format, and you have to pick up the sector address on the SD card from the text file created by the Graphics composer to address the files. The 16bit colour 565 format used is also not very common

So I figured best to use standard FAT format , and standard 24 bit .bmp files. I may regret this as the directory get bigger, and the disk fragmented !

OK thanks i-bot it works very well
A question to save the images on the card memory SD as I do?
Must I get off the SD from oled and to climb on on the PC?
Doesn't Graphics Composer work?
thanks still of everything self I learn

I uploaded the Spin files for the Propellor head LCD with the added option to display bitmaps. I also added a bit to ignore Null bytes, since these were seen before the LCD port was initialised. The LCD port cannot send Null.
http://robosavvy.com/Builders/i-Bot/Rob ... .13%5d.zip

The spin code is programmed to the uOLED-96-Prop from the propellor tool. For this you need the propellor plug from parallax or the uUSB-MB5. You will need the objects contained in the archive, because the SD card driver is configured for the uOLED, and not standard.

The uOLED connects to the C3024 controller on the LCD port.
C3024 LCD Port Signal via 1.5K resistor to uOLED pin10 = propellor pin 18
C3024 LCD Port 5V direct to uOLED pin 1 - uOLED Vcc Supply input
C3024 LCD Port GND direct to uOLED pin 4 - uOLED GND ground

For bitmaps it only supports 96*64 .BMP files in 24 bit colour format. These can be created by the MS Paint program. Either create or copy an image and then resize to exactly 96 wide by 64 high. This is then saved as a .bmp file with 24 bit colour. The .bmp files must be located in the root directory of the micro SD card which is to go into the uOLED.

You will see a file "shrek.bmp" in the archive. You can change the spin code to use a dfifferent one on startup. To call an image from Robobasic using:
PRINT &H1b, &H60, "shrek", &HFF

This will display the file "shrek.bmp", or any other 96*64 24 bit .bmp file you have on the SD Card

Update to display is rather slow, at about 1.5 sec, so if anyone can speed it up, please help. The delays are in both the reading of the FAT filesystem, and in the display.

This technique is designed for full scale humanoids where the distance between sensors, mounted in the same plane, is large enough to provide an easily worked waveform differential. The same holds true with optics and lenses, as the separation reaches an optimal plane distance of several inches for stereo optic results. The sound software could be modified but at such close separation distances, the differential would be minimal and not product accurate results. It would be more beneficial to place these sound sensors at opposite sides of the robot in different locations. This can optimally locate sound point sources with sensors mounted at small differential locations on the humanoid. As an additional tweaking, collection ears can focus the sound waves and produce directionally tuned results. If you don't mind placing the stereo-acoustic sensor in the front, back or sides, it can improve the results substantially.

Check out the propeller demo board, to see how to connect an electret mic, it looks like it will use two of the four spare pins?

PS I had the following circuit connected to my RN's "ears", but i had no luck with it, I think they were too close together: (they are currently not connected). I don't know what to do to get them to work??

Hi my Oled has finally arrived
Can you give me the scheme your connection with robonova?
For connection for use as LCD connection resistance 1,5K
How can I connect microphones?
and I would be you thankful if you give me the software to recall images face with robobasic
Thanks and excuse me if I ask so much but I feel like immediately using oled and to begin to learn language planning
thanks

Hi
Thanks of everything I-Bot.
You certainly want him/it your software

Do you know where to make the software download demo for oled?

I have just set mine so I can call up a 24 bit .bmp file from the SD card from RoboBasic.

It needs 24 bit per pixel .BMP files at 96 * 64, and is a bit slow, but nice to see a full graphic face at last.

Now have identity crisis between Shrek, Kryton, Holly, and my Dog.

Let me know if you want to try it, or better still if you can speed it up.

Maybe someone can make it just change the pixels to change expression.

I uploaded my simple spin code to emulate the LCD display.

http://robosavvy.com/Builders/i-Bot/RoboLCD.zip

It supports PRINT, FORMAT, HEX, BIN, CLS and LOCATE.

Note: You need to put a resistor (1.5K) in the LCD signal lead due to the different logic levels.
