You basically need some utility on the PC that will convert a BMP to the correct data definitions for your processor.

I'll PM you an ancient one I wrote years ago.

Graphic LCD CFAG240128D

I have generated binary image of a BMP file using my own utility.
Now I understood the BMP file format.

Now I an trying to dump these characters to the LCD, but I do not know the reason, some thing is getting messed up.
It displays till 144 bits in row 0 and then goes blank or some times some other part of the LCD pixes are ON.
I have set the LCD to graphic mode with a necessary initialiozation. But I do not know how far it is correct

Can you please provide me , a step by step guide to display the binary data to LCD , with initialization details. (I count not get much info on this in the product spec , that I have downloaded from crystalfontz website

Thanks

That same code I PM'd you has a routine to display the bitmap.

What you are describing sounds like a hardware or cable problem. How long is the cable? You might want to try a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor between ground and +5v at the display.
