How to Display an Animated GIF on M5Stack Screens Using Arduino C?
-
Hi everyone,
I'm working with an M5Stack Dial (ESP32-S3) and I want to display an animated GIF on its screen using Arduino C. I know that the M5Stack series supports images in formats like JPG and BMP, but I'm unsure about how to handle GIF animations properly.
I have a few questions:
What libraries should I use to decode and display a GIF frame by frame?
How should I store the GIF? (SPIFFS, LittleFS, external SD card, etc.)
What is the best way to update the screen efficiently without flickering?
If anyone has sample code or a guide on how to achieve this, I would really appreciate it!Thanks in advance!

@Juan-Carlos-Climent
you can refer to this example:

@kuriko I've checked the link you sent me and adapted it to display an animated GIF. I used the Python script from M5 ( bin2code.py ) to generate a .h file and modified the example from M5GFX ( drawImageData.ino ). It works perfectly!
Thanks a lot!
