OLED Video

Used to convert a video for display on a QMK OLED.

This should work on pretty much any QMK keyboard but I highly recommend using a controller with a decent amount of flash memory such as an RP2040.

Instructions

1. Generate your frames using extract_frames.py
   • They will output to the frames directory.
2. Upload those to Image2CPP
   1. Choose your dithering mode if you want to play with the look.
   2. Code output format should be set to Plain bytes.
   3. Output should be set to Draw mode: Vertical - 1 bit per pixel
   4. Click Generate code and paste the output to frames.txt.
3. Generate your frames.c using create_frames_array.py.
   1. Copy frames.c and oled.c to your QMK keymap.
   2. Import oled.c into your keymap.c.
   3. Compile and flash.
4. You should now see a video playing on your OLED!
