Driving Oled Animations in CircuitPython
To set the project up, the following hardware is needed:
For the sound effects a piezo buzzer is nedded (optional)...
Follow the wiring diagram, and make sure to flash the two display firmware to the board!
Just double click the reset button and drag and drop the ItsyBitsyM4_2Display.uf2 inside the folder that will pop up...
For more info or in case something goes wrong, here is some more detailed information on how to do this...

Also you will need to drag and drop:
- main.py
- spritesheet.bmp
- spritesheet_look_left.bmp
- spritesheet_look_right.bmp
- spritesheet_look_left_low.bmp
- spritesheet_look_right_low.bmp
- spritesheet_happy.bmp
- spritesheet_sad.bmp
- spritesheet_center.bmp
Once you did all this a sequence of the animations should be played back...
You can play individual animations by just sending the animations number to the serial port!
e.g "4" will play spritesheet_look_left_low.bmp
In this section of the code, you can modifiy which images are being loaded and their corresponding playback commands:
def print_serial(data):
print(data)
if data ==1:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet_look_right_low.bmp"),.05,1,blink_sound)
elif data ==2:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet_sad.bmp"),.005,0,sad_sound)
elif data ==3:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet_happy.bmp"),.005,1,happy_sound)
elif data ==4:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet_look_left_low.bmp"),.05,1,blink_sound)
elif data ==5:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet_center.bmp"),.005,0,center_sound)
elif data ==6:
anim_eyes(("/spritesheet.bmp"),.005,0,blink_sound)
The code is a bit messy, but it should work fine...
You can connect via Serial USB or UART...
The test_serial.py provides an example on how to connect via Serial!
Have fun!!! :)
