How to convert a String to Const Char XYZ[] PROGMEM?
Specific issue:
I am working on Arduino + OLED project (using the squix library) in which I am displaying image defined by WiFi_Logo_bits[] using the following code
void drawImageDemo() {
display.drawXbm(0, 0, WiFi_Logo_width, WiFi_Logo_height, WiFi_Logo_bits); // variables are defined below
}
Everything works as it as, but now I want to dynamically get the image data from internet and store in WiFi_Logo_bits[]. I am successfully able to retrieve the data for ex: {0xFE, 0xDE, 0x01......} as String, but cannot assign the value to WiFi_Logo_bits[] PROGMEM as I am having problem with datatypes conversion.
Variables above are defined as below:
#define WiFi_Logo_width 119
#define WiFi_Logo_height 63
const char WiFi_Logo_bits[] PROGMEM = {

The PROGMEM type modifier tells the compiler the array values should be put into flash memory - that makes the variable not only logically const, but also even physically (even if your program would allow modifying the const variable, it couldn't, because flash can't simply be written to like other memory. It would need to re-flash the device on the fly)
The short answer is: If something is declared const PROGMEM, you cannot change it.
In theory you can modify PROGMEM, but:
It must be stored in one flash memory block (it must be erased and programmed as block)
It can't be erased/programmed from regular program sections but from bootloader section (doesn't apply for most ATTinys as they don't have bootloader section). This requires your own bootloader to support it.
Or you can use EEPROM to store this array:
It is not such a big problem to change it. It just needs similar functions to read/write EEMEM variables.
But draw methods in the library are pretty much relying on PROGMEM, so you have to write your own drawXbm function (method if you extend current library).
I've a problem to get a wxImage into a wxPanel.
I want to create a .exe with some pics in the exe, but I want to avoid to give the PNG-Pics with the exe.
So far, I get the PNGs into the exe with this:
wxStaticBitmap *image = new wxStaticBitmap(p_img, wxID_ANY,
wxBitmap("Bild.png", wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG),
wxPoint(0,0),
wxSize(width, height);
where p_img ist the panel and Bild.png the picture.
Now, I have followed http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxImage And have now a wxImage... But I don't know how I can get the wxImage in the panel.
wxMemoryInputStream istream1(Bild_png, sizeof Bild_png);
wxImage Bild_png(istream1, wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
I hope somebody has a idea.

My System:
OS: Win 8.1; wxW 2.9.4; IDE: CodeLite5.1
You can pass wxImage into wxBitmap constructor (wxBitmap Class Reference):
wxBitmap(const wxImage &img, int depth=wxBITMAP_SCREEN_DEPTH)
And then you can create wxStaticBitmap. So the code would be something like that:
wxImage Bild_png(istream1, wxBITMAP_TYPE_PNG);
wxStaticBitmap *staticBitmap = new wxStaticBitmap(p_img, wxID_ANY, wxBitmap(Bild_png));
As I understand you want to use the images and do not want to ship with exe as a physical files on the file system.
For Windows platform resource only Dll can be used. If you want cross platform you can use following technique:
Convert your PNG file to C++ style array.
And use this C++ array to create wxImage object.
You can download the application to get C++ array from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/png2cscc/
you will get C++ array like below and put this array in some source file of your project.

I'm trying to read a LAS File 1.3 Header from a file.
In every single header that I've seen, The first thing i expect to read is the Format Signature which is always "LASF".
When i try and read the file, All I'm seeing is 'ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ'
I know the header size is 227, I tried to even just read a length of 227 straight from the file but i still don't read what I'm supposed to. I hope this makes sense.
this is what i've tried:
typedef struct Header
{
char File_Signature[4];
USHORT SourceID;
USHORT Reserved1;
UINT GUID1;
USHORT GUID2;
USHORT GUID3;
char GUID4[8];
BYTE VersionMajor;
BYTE VersionMinor;
char SystemID[32];
char GeneratingSoftware[32];
USHORT DOY;
USHORT YEAR;
USHORT HeaderSize;
UINT PointOffset;
INT NumberOfVariableLengthRecords;
BYTE PointDataFormatID;
USHORT PointDataRecordLength;
INT NumberOfPointRecords;
UINT NumberofPointsByReturn1;
UINT NumberofPointsByReturn2;
UINT NumberofPointsByReturn3;
UINT NumberofPointsByReturn4;
UINT NumberofPointsByReturn5;
double XScaleFactor;
double YScaleFactor;
double ZScaleFactor;
double Xoffset;
double Yoffset;
double Zoffset;
double MaxX;
double MinX;
double MaxY;
double MinY;
double MaxZ;
double MinZ;
} LasHeader;
void OpenLasFile()
{
//THIS DOES NOT WORK
char buffer[227];
ifstream myFile ("C:\atlass\area_cov.las");
myFile.read (buffer, 227);
//NOT WORK, TRIED THIS TOO
ifstream input_file("C:\atlass\area_cov.las", ios::binary);
LasHeader header;
input_file.read((char*)&header, sizeof(header));
input_file.close();
//ALL DATA OUTPUT'ed ARE 'ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ'
}
This is a block of binary from the file I'm trying to read.

My question is: Why am i Reading garbage values, what have i done wrong?
-------------------- UPDATE --------------------------
I tested this and it worked, So it must be a problem reading the file, can anyone help?
what worked was:
unsigned char rawData[552] =

The issue is here:
ifstream myFile ("C:\atlass\area_cov.las");
Backslash is a special character in C strings that forms escape sequences. In this particular case, \a is replaced by a bell character (0x0B), so it is trying to open the wrong path and failing.
Instead, you need to escape all the backslashes that occur in the path by doubling them:
ifstream myFile ("C:\\atlass\\area_cov.las");
