Project Callisto is a basic LCD project started by me (UI UX) and my
husband (software engineer). He designed a board attached to a small
screen that can perform basic functionality such as:
- AM / FM Radio
- Wifi
- Music from SD Card feature
- Sensors (temperature, humidity, etc)
The Problem:
1. Because the device has limitations, in order for text, symbols, and
numbers to be displayed on screen (whether it was an input by the user
or a device displayed output), PNG files of these letters, symbols and
numbers needs to be stored.
2. The PNG files of the letters, symbols and numbers are built in Figma
and exported as a ZIP file and sent via email which is then extracted and
re-uploaded for testing. This is time consuming as sometimes these
PNG files have the wrong spacing, weird positioning, etc. which
requires re-making the PNG files and re-testing time which eats into
development time.
The Text Simulator:
- Export all PNG files from Figma and store them in a folder.
- Open the text simulator.exe and click on "Pick Folder".
- Select the folder that contains the PNG files and click on "Select Folder".
