@grouproot I've not tried the splash screens myself, but after reading the readme files and looking through the source code files, there are the splash images in src/res/ These are in a special format to upload directly onto the dpf or embed into the complied firmware. You will have to use ffmpeg to re-encode the image from jpg into the rgb format. I googled how to use ffmpeg to converby daveg - Displays
@ superelchi: I know it isn't going to be easy, maybe your idea for using a square DPF would be better for me at this stage as the pebble DPF doesnt really lend itself to mounting how i want as the USB is on the bottom rather than the side. I have been making personal progress having finally managed to compile the firmware on linux where I was getting errors previously. Baby steps in thby daveg - Displays

@ ax206geek thanks for the info. I'm on a steep learning curve here :D took lots of head scratching and reading up on the forum here, raspberry pi and the dpf wiki. not much of it makes sense as I'm not a programmer or a hardened Linux user, but the Pi and these DPF projects will hopefully change that. With regard to the router, I was thinking I could maybe compile lcd4linux andby daveg - Displays
I'm trying to use the orientation setting in dpf.config with lcd4linux to rotate the display. I've tried 0, 1, 2 & 3 and the display never rotates. Does the "sevenday_pebble" DPF support rotation? Also does anyone know if its possible to cross compile lcd4linux to run on a MIPS processor? I'd like to plug one of these DPF's into mu Asus N16 router which hasby daveg - Displays
@superelchi struggled to flash this firmware via linux so ended up using progspi on windows. The eyes now appear correctly and the screen looks a lot better when running lcd4linux. I just need to work out if i can connect it to my asus n16 router. I cant thank you enough, but i'll try... thank you thank you thank you, thank you^infinity. now i have the bug for these screens I'by daveg - Displays
@ superelchi as requested please find enclosed the FW dump from my DPF, it's 2MB so I've had to compress it to be able to attach it to the post. Also I attatched a photo of what happens when using the fw_disp_blue firmware. Notice the border top and left and the crooked eyes. cheers daveby daveg - Displays
Hey guys I have been following the guides in this forum trying to hack a DPF. I have downloaded dpf-ax (3.2) and following various problems finally managed to get everything compiled. I eventually managed to get a firmware dump but identify.py fails to find a matching DPF. The DPF i bought was from the same link as another forum member had had success with, http://www.7dayshop.com/7dayshop-pby daveg - Displays
