Starfield Collectors Edition watch runs Espruino

I managed to get the starting logo in colour again and learned why they dont do this anymore. I tried getting it full screen but it runs out of memory before i can get it to work.

Edit2: reduced number of colours in raw file to reduce size and now i get a full colour logo across full screen. With a bit more optimisation like better downscaling and colour blocking i can defo get the image smaller

Edit: using the 2x2 bayer pattern i manahed to get a full screen colour logo on startup

Nice! Looks to me like the image only has a few colors, so you could use the Image Converter with maybe the 'Optimal 3 bit' palette to get the image in.

Also I'm not sure how it's rendered but if it's just a file on the flash storage, it should be able to be rendered right off the flash memory (without ever being loaded to RAM)

Its rendered by creating an image object during boot and the data for which is stored in logo-white.js to save me time editing i just kept logo white (its used elsewhere not just in boot) the same. Then just copied the image object into the boot code. The one i posted i cant remember if i kade it 4 bit or 3 bit bit it was about 5000bytes for the full screen one

Ok - well, the easiest option is try uploading the image direct to a file using the IDE's Storage button (it gives you the same image converter menu).

Then you can just do img = require("Storage").read("myimage.img") and render it that way, and it comes straight from flash

ah ill definitely do that because the thing is tight for space as is, i wonder why they dont do that by default, cant imagine its slow enough to cause any issues.

Is there a way to tell how much memory/flash is left from the ide?

for storage space type require("Storage").getFree() in console - left side of IDE

Does anyone have original firmware for the watch? Mine is corrupt. I can get into DFU mode, so could flash with the NRF tools.... However I cannot track down a firmware package to install.

Try this ;-)

Thank you! I was able to flash this and am up and running again!
