Need help with printing a png image onto V5 brain with SD card

[Josh-8349B]

I have tried using various code to print my logo onto my brain and none of it is working. Is it even possible yet?

What programming environment and language are you using?

I am using VCS and C++ pro

LVGL in PROS supports this, you can load and display images from the SD card, or you can convert the image into a c file using a tool.

sort of, VCS has an early undocumented API for displaying bmp images that are stored on the SD Card. The next sdk, that we can’t release until VCS is updated, improved that API and added support for png images. There will be no native support for gif, however, you can already read a gif using standard file io functions from the SD card and write your own decoding program, the next sdk will also allow a raw image buffer (ie. your decoded gif) to be displayed.

This was in december so they might support png but you may have better luck using bmp

VCS has never had an update, so supposedly this is still up to date.

That’s pretty much correct. We built the png image support into vexos, but you need an updated sdk for VCS to be able to easily take advantage of it. The png support in 1.0.5 also had a bug that was discovered after release that will be fixed in 1.0.6
