Show bitmap image on OLED display with Arduino/ESP board (Tool provided)

I2C connection Monochrome OLED display is very handy to use. Easy wiring and various libraries provided, such as Adafruit GFX, u8glib, u8g2lib. Monochrome bitmap can also be displayed. You need to prepare bitmap image and convert to hex data. There are tools you can download, but I couldn’t find one that is easy to use. So, I’ve created easy-to-use tool to convert bmp file to hex data (for Windows). Built with Visual Studio / C++. Use freely, no support, use at your own risk. Simply create bitmap file with MS paintbrush for example, save as 24bit bmp file. Launch tool, drag and drop bmp file to tool. You get hex …

Stand alone ATMEGA328P-AU blotloader writer

ATMEGA328P-AU is small chip used in Arduino Nano, and chip can be purchased and used for own projects. When designing circuit board, I don’t want to waste space for pattern just to burn bootloader, which is usually only used once for most of the time. I use kit sold from aitendo store in Japan to burn bootloader (sorry, not shipped overseas). http://www.aitendo.com/product/15799 This kit comes with socket for ATMEGA328P-AU and circuit board and some parts. After building kit, connect with Arduino with bootloader burn sketch, then place chip on socket and burn bootloader to ATMEGA328P-AU chip. Since original sketch output result to serial port, I added OLED display so it …
