5.3.2 Purge Memory (254 33 89 33)
This command completely erases the display’s non-volatile memory. It removes all fonts, font metrics,
bitmaps, and settings (current font, cursor position, communication speed, etc.). It is an ’odd’ command in
that it is three bytes in length. This is to prevent accidental execution.
5.3.3 Upload Font (254 36 [ref] [file size] [file data])
This command begins a font upload to the display’s non-volatile memory. [ref] is the reference number
to be used for this font. File size is a 2 byte value that must be calculated by the host before the transfer takes
place.
5.3.4 Upload Bitmap (254 94[ref] [file size] [file data])
This command begins a bitmap upload to the display’s non-volatile memory. [ref] is the reference
number to be used for this bitmap. File size is a 2 byte value that must be calculated by the host before
the transfer takes place.
5.4 Working with Font Files
A font file consists of a header, a character list, and character bitmaps.
The header consists of;
• Placeholder for actual EOF (2 bytes, use 0xFF 0xFF - these bytes will be set to their final value by the
module)
• Nominal character width (1 byte)
• Absolute font height (1 byte)
• ASCII value of first character defined in this file (1 byte)
• ASCII value of last character defined in this file (1 byte)
The character list consists of groups of 3 bytes per character;
• Offset to character bitmap (2 bytes)
• Actual width of this character (1 byte)
