As you may know, PROS uses LVGL 5.3 under the hood. Sadly, this is quite outdated, meaning there doesn’t seem to be any easy way to display an image without an SD card.
I know it’s possible, but the docs for LVGL v5 were essentially wiped from the internet making it extremely difficult. Plus, the image converter (which you need) for LVGL 5 was taken offline (link).
Is there any way to do this these days? All my attempts yield the same “no data” screen, the same result as basically everyone else I’ve talked to.
I would imagine that the raw image data array output from the latest image converter is probably the same as the old one, you would just need to modify the other data structures to match what V5.3 needs. PROS has a plan to move lvgl out of the kernel for V4, but that’s been in progress for a long time, you can follow here.
or alternatively switch to VEXcode and use lvgl 8.
I believe you were helped on the discord server a short while ago, please let us know the results of that
To add on to what James said, lvgl will be treated as a separate template similar to okapilib in PROS Kernel 4. We expect to be able to release PROS 4 in a beta state around the end of December, so it is not too far away.
I was helped in the discord! I can’t give the results of that now as I don’t have the robot with me, but I’ll post a reply here tomorrow with the solution if it works.
As for PROS 4, I’m assuming separating LVGL could potentially allow it to be manually updated in the future? Can’t wait for v4, and thanks!
