Is there a way to display some simple pictures on the LCD?

Yes it is, iv not done iv myself but iv heard of people successfully using http://www.gabotronics.com/tutorials/run-length-encoding-for-lcd.htm. Try searching for graphics on ST7565 with Google of maybe the jeelabs forum. Let us know how you get on.

I found it and here's the code:

#include <GLCD_ST7565.h>

#include <JeeLib.h>

const byte picture[16*64] PROGMEM = {

//here comes the HEX code of the bitmap

};

GLCD_ST7565 glcd;

void setup () {

glcd.begin(0x18);

glcd.backLight(255);

glcd.drawBitmap(0, 0, picture, 128, 64, WHITE);

glcd.refresh();

}

void loop () {}

Nice, I'll give it a test. Here's another tutorial I've come across: http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/bmp-lcd-converter
