For some time I have had a JVF 2010A led panel, it is an old display panel from the 80s, its a device that loads a dos program and display animations. the software available to generate content is running in DOS or directly on the panel with an AT keyboard. I decided it would be nice to have a Windows App to build .dsn files (the images used in the animations). After some time working it became an app that batch convert .bmp files to .dsn files and create the .shw file( animation script) that will allow it to be run on the panel. Here is a sample video showing a simple animation built using this tool.
if you have an JVF 2010 panel with this tool you can :
Adjust the color treshold for a specific batch of files
You can use the 4 color levels available, 2/3 intensity level is hard to differentiate from full intensity, avoid to use it( set the same value for the 2 last threshold values)
preview the outcome of the conversion in a red level bmp files folder,
convert quickly a batch of input bmp files . and the shw that will play those .dsn files
here you can download the application from dropbox
any feedback is welcome.
If someone is interested we could build a repository to share .SHW and .DSN files between enthousiasts so that the public content available for the jvf 2010 is richer.
