I have generated a Excel File (Macro) where you can generate Images for the neo matrix Arduino Libary if you use the function display_rgbBitmap
You can import pictues which have the same pixel size as your matrix led.
I did not find a easy way how to generate own pictures in a fast way. Now I can generate a picture with some klicks.
In the Example you will se a animation form a running Mario.
To import the bmp Files to the Excel Macro you have to save it as a 24 Bit bmp
The Result of the Matrix is the 4Bit Image Code with red,gren,blue values.
//Mario 1 { 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0xEEF, 0x000, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x35A, 0xACF, 0x35A, 0x000, 0xACF, 0x000, 0xACF, 0x35A, 0x35A, 0xACF, 0xACF, 0x35A, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x35A, 0xACF, 0xACF, 0xACF, 0x000, 0x000, 0x0AF, 0xFA2, 0xFA2, 0x2FF, 0x50F, 0x50F, 0x000, 0xEEF, 0x000, 0xFA2, 0xFA2, 0xFA2, 0xFA2, 0x532, 0x978, 0x000, 0x527, 0x000, 0x000, 0x000, 0x35A, 0x000, 0x000,
},
You can also adjust colors after importing a picture to the excel tabel, or draw directly your image in excel without importing a image.
