Cheap & Cute PhotoFrame Without SD Card on ESP8266 + 1.8inch TFT

Digital photo frame are awesome thing to show photos of your family members, friends and your pets. I wanted to build a small, cheap and cute photo frame with the parts already in my hand. This frame use 1.8" Small TFT panel and ESP8266 wireless development environment in a 3D printed case.

3D Printed Case https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4097143

Some Wires & Soldering Iron.

Step 1: Parts

I've prepare parts and printed frame on my 3D Printer.

Step 2: Hardware Install

Solder and mount parts on 3D Printed case as shown above images.

Step 3: Convert Photo to "C" Array!

This photoframe uses internal flash of ESP8266 module. So you don't need any external SD Card. You may convert 128x160 pixel photo to C array with LCDimageConverter. ESP8266's 4MB flash memory is enough to store many photos. You can download software and convert C Array your photos.

Step 4: Software

You can sore your c array photos on photos.h file. Also need Adafruit GFX library and Adafruit ST7735 header file for this application.

Excuse me, Sir..
how to generate JPEG image (.jpg) images using LCD Image Converter ?
I have followed the steps correctly, but I get an error like this:
error: too many initializers for 'const uint16_t [20480] {aka const short unsigned int [20480]}'

I attach the following photo example that I used

before that I say thank you :-)

Hi,
I apologize for my late reply.
Can you share your image array. I've create your image into an array like below.
It's work for me.

Excuse me, Sir

for the image array code that you shared, I successfully compiled it
but,
when I try to convert another photo by following the steps Convert Photo to "C" array. always fails sir ... with the same error code = too many initializers for 'const uint16_t [20480] {aka const short unsigned int [20480]}'

please send an example video of Convert Photo to "C" Array
I have followed the steps above correctly, but the results still fail

Please check step 3- I've remarked some features to setting up.
