Hi, As a C/ C++ novice was just wondering the process that I need to follow to make my custom ICONS to display on my emonglcd.
I understand the code displaying then but am curious of the hex code for each pixel, is an external programmed used or is there a simple solution to modify/ create your own.
Thanks Paul
Re: emonglcd icons
Hello Paul, the icons where designed by drsdre, the original forum thread is here http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/888 and blog post http://openenergymonitor.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/emonglcd-icons-by-drsdre.html. Im not sure what program he used, maybe worth trying to get in contact with him
Re: emonglcd icons
It's not exactly obvious how these icons are coded so I knocked up a spreadsheet to help me when I made my divert icon.
You should be able to see the file using this link. If not I can post a copy.

Re: emonglcd icons
Hi Brain, not wanting to seem like a fool I have looked at the spreadsheet for a while and the internet and have worked out the hex to decimal and where it fits in. :)
A few questions why in the icons.ino file is the code repeated 5 times while other icons only have the code once.and finally how do read/ write the code when you have an icon that doesn't fit neatly in the bit, byte 1-8, 0-7 format like some of the other icons in the icon.ino file.
Thanks Paul
