MicroPython: ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display Board – CYD (ESP32-2432S028R)
With reference to your tutorial on the above I’m having difficulty in using the img2rgb565.py tool which references several imports which are not available to micropython. Is there an app you can give me to develop a RAW image that will be accepted by your given software.

Hello Michael,
The img2rgb565.py file must run directly with Python on your computer (not with MicroPython). So, open the Python file on your compute and run the script to get the raw file.
Regards,
Rui

Hi Rui
Thanks for the prompt response, however
when I run python the : import PIL. causes this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  ImportError: No module named PIL

Looking into the reason it appears that 
the Python Imaging Library (PIL), is no longer maintained
Any suggestions?

Mike

If it’s not installed, you need to install the PIL (pillow) python package:

pip install pillow

You can also watch this video on how to install PIL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V_MxQ6HjpY

Thanks Rui
That works.
One final question on the same subject. Do the image files that are to be converted need to be a specific size i.e in pixel dimensions such as 128×128
