NATG3 Day 6: Draw A Tiny Pony

By
Published:
233 Views

Description

Subject: A tiny pony (10px by 9px, actual size ~3mm square)
Medium: A tiny (2"x2") LCD, with a tiny resolution (84x48), run by a tiny microcontroller with a not so tiny name (ATMega168P) and a tiny program (~4kB, 528 bytes without the image data.)

Pulled out an old friend ( fav.me/d4ycz8f ) for this one. Working from the prewritten infrastructure let me stay in my 30m target, even though I had to rebuild a lot of it since I'd moved on to other projects in the interim. I think I may do tomorrow's submission in persistence of vision LEDs, though I don't have any infrastructure for that. That said, without getting REALLY creative I don't think I could make this any smaller with my available tools. :meow:

Edit: A quick point of clarification since Phoe brought it up today. The part of this submission that is recycled is the LCD driver hardware and design. The image itself was drawn and converted fresh for this particular submission. The point of the NATG is to have an excuse to draw something new every day. That I displayed my drawing on a system I designed in the past is irrelevant.
