Each graphic and icon has own address in FLASH memory which starts "0x..."
In bottom window ("Graphics addresses in FLASH memory") you can find all address codes for all graphics .
Few examples below.



Battery icon (32x16 pix) can be found at address 0x5000:

Code: Select all

FLASH_ADDR_ICO_32x16_ACCU			0x5000

Outside temperature icon (32x16pix, cloud) can be found at address 0x5500:

Code: Select all

FLASH_ADDR_ICO_32x16_CLOUD			0x5500

Velocity icon (32x32pix, units km/h) can be found at address 0x8000:

Code: Select all

FLASH_ADDR_ICO_32x32_KMH			0x8000

... etc.

In order to upload your custom graphic you should:

1. Load bitmap icon. It's important to load icon which exacly the same resolution as icon to be replaced.
2. Enter icon address in FLASH memory (when you enter incorrect address you will overwrite different icon!)
3. Click "UPLOAD(bmp)" button.

after some testing i saw it's work fine but just on the lower lines (user display 4 lines 5 & 6)

I've checked it and you are right. There is bug in firmware. Oil pressure icon does not display in Area 1,2,3,4 - only in 5 and 6.
Thank you for finding this bug - we will fix it in next update.

edit. it's already fixed in v3.4

Artur, how can I upgrade 16x16_oil icon (icon for oil press) for 32x16 icon?

Thank you for quick answer!

[ArT]

You can't Size is hard coded in flash so you need to replace it also with 16x16
