Retrospecs vs pixel565

A retro computing / pixel art camera app. Retrospecs lets you convert images and video clips so they appear as they would on a wide variety of home computers and consoles from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Simply take a picture (or select one from your photo library) and you can display it as it would appear on over forty systems including the Commodore 64, IBM PC (DOS, CGA, EGA and VGA), Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Sega Mega Drive, Nintendo Game Boy and even the original 1984 model Apple Macintosh. If that's not enough you can also create your own custom modes based around four different graphics engines and a wide variety of color palettes and character fonts. (The free version only contains a limited number of systems/dither modes and the custom editors, video clip processing and animation options aren't available.) All trademarks are acknowledged as the property of their respective owners.

Create sprites and icons by drawing individual pixels. Import photos and edit them within the app, adding and altering colour pixels. Save the finished art into your files app. With the app, you can convert your designs into a format readable by the arduino and neopixel library. This allows you to show images on a neopixel matrix. The pixels in the photo are converted into RGB565 hex code. If you are using an edp8266 you can also send the RGB565 code to the device via wifi as long as you are using the NeoPixel library and suitable Arduino code
