img2cpp - a handy tool for embedding images in your ESP32 projects

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/esp32

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gfx

    GFX is a device independent graphics library primarily intended for IoT MCUs but not limited to that. (by codewitch-honey-crisis)

  • I think there's already tools out there to do this for Adafruit_GFX and/or TFT_eSPI but this one will allow you to embed JPG streams too to save flash space, and it also supports htcw_gfx out of the box.

  • esp-idf

    Espressif IoT Development Framework. Official development framework for Espressif SoCs.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • TJpg_Decoder

    Jpeg decoder library based on Tiny JPEG Decompressor

  • Yes but the point was that you don't have to use a seperate tool to embed images, you can use standard jpgs and use functionality already included with esp-idf. It supports all the esp32-family and this is the esp32 subreddit so I suspect that's good enough for most here. Mika even used it to play video with mjpeg from a sd-card. Embedding files as headers quickly fills up the program flash so it's nice to be able to use expandable storage. And TJpgDec is platform independent as you probably know since you say you included it in your library. It's available for arduino as well.
