Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I'm using an 8 x 8 WS2182b square of LEDs in my robot project along with the LCD panel.

I wanted an "easy" way to code images on the LEDs - so I used P5.JS as I'm familar with it and there are lots of resources on the web, and honestly AI is greate at javascript code.

The editor is here:  https://editor.p5js.org/gpg342/sketches/mVEqP2wxR

It looks like this.  Click on the "RUN" icon (top left) to activate it.
 


If you click on Save MMbasic - it will save out the image as 8x8 as data statements - ready to use in an MMBasic program.

This produces an 8 x 8 image ready for me to use on the LED panel.

It could of course be used to scale onto the LCD panel...
