Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : is there a simple bitmap format ?

Is there a very simple bitmap file structure ? I thought a bmp file would be trivial to create but now I see there are quite a few additional fields etc.

Just after something that a program can write to a sd card and then allow a quick visual check in windows.

ppm ascii files followed by ppm binary are probably the easiest. See here
