Animated GIFs are a staple of the Internet – and thanks to PyPortal’s speedy chip and display, we can show animated GIFs right from the onboard filesystem for keeping your favorite memes with you all the time even when the Internet is down!
In this project we’ll show you how to use some nifty Arduino C++ code that can decode GIF files, and display them on the 3.2″ color display. Behind the scenes we use 8-bit DMA for fast display updates so you don’t see any flickering.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
