Hey folks!
Complete noob when it comes to these things, and I am even worse where coding is concerned. So here is my question: Has anyone made, or have an idea how to play animated gifs on a 1.8" tft display (Tontec 1.8" TFT Color LCD Display Module SPI Interface MicroSD using ST7735R driver).
The project: Star Trek: The Next Generation Tricorder prop
Needs: A working LCD display of various home brewed LCARS gifs to give more realism to the prop. (Maybe sequenced BMP images?)
I have been able to get display demos running from an Ardunio Nano, my hope being that I could get the code down and working, then transfer the majority of it over to the Teensy 3.1 (as my power source is a 3.7v LiPo battery), Arduino was out as it takes a 5v power source which would blow up my tricorder electronics, AND is much slower than the teensy. So, anyone out there that can help a newbie with this? I'd love to say that I could do this on my own, but I just don't have the technical background to do much more than copy paste at the moment.
Thanks!
