The Image Transfer mode allows you to select an image and transmit it over BLE. The interface also offers a number of additional features for advanced users.
Data Format
Image data is sent from over BLE in the following format:
- Single byte char “!” (0x21)
- Single byte char 'I' (0x49)
- Color space (uint8 16 for 16bits 565 or 24 for 24-bit 888)
- Image width (uint16 little endian, 2 bytes)
- Height (uint16 little endian, 2 bytes)
- Pixel data encoded as "RGB 16bit 565” or "RGB 24-bit 888" depending on the Color Space selected
- Single byte CRC

Tap the Choose Image button to select an image from your device’s photo library or capture a new one from the camera. After selecting your image, use a pinch gesture to scale it for cropping within the white bounding box.
This setting toggles between two color bit-depth settings: 16-bit & 24-bit. This value determines how many bits of data are used to represent each pixel’s color value. A higher value allows for a greater range of colors, but uses more data and time to transfer.

The Resolution setting allow you to choose from a list of preset image resolutions designed to fit common displays. Setting a resolution will update the selected image's pixellation as a preview.

The Transfer Mode setting determines how often the app will require a confirmation response from the Bluefruit hardware before sending more data. Tapping the button offers three options:
- Without Response (fastest, least reliable): App never waits for response before sending more data
- With Response (slowest, most reliable): App always waits for response to before sending more data
- Interleaved (customizable, varies): App sends a number of packets w/o response before sending one w response. The default value of 50 offers a nice middle ground between speed and reliability.
The image can be rotated using the buttons on either side of the Send Image button.
Pressing Send Image will present a progress bar and begin sending data to the Bluefruit Hardware.
