GLK12232-SM-25 bitmap and font reference numbers

Post by dodge55 »

What is the range of reference numbers in the font and bitmap upload commands? I can't find it in the manual. Thanks.

Hello Dodge55,

Thank you for your post.

The GLK12232-25-SM has 16KB available for fonts and bitmaps. The reference number starts from 1 to n. The reference number depends on how big the font/bitmap files that are loaded.

Say you wiped the file system and loaded bitmaps that are 122x32 which will be about 488 bytes, theoretically then you can have up to 33 bitmaps, your reference number will then be from 1 - 33. Please do take into account some overhead in storing, so you might end up with less than 33.

I hope this helps.
