An effort to find how the Bluetooth is workind is also underway but too early to document it. Up so far
|
||||
all I can say is that it use BLE.
|
||||
|
||||
The [update_files](update_files) folder include all the known update file released by MinBay.

The [sample_tools](sample_tools) folder include sample application in python handling the different

### Quick note about updating your MB701
|
||||
About update, **DO NOT** try to update the MB701 using anything else than a PC under windows, and
|
||||
potentially linux. The way they handle FAT is weird and Mac OS seems to have issues with saving
|
||||
the update file properly leading the board to crash in weird way.
|
||||
### Output example
|
||||
|
||||
 
|
||||
P0002_18 - Artist: Unknown (Minbay?)
|
||||
|
||||
### TODO
|
||||
- [ ] Documenting the update file format
|
||||
- [ ] Documenting the BLE protocol
|
||||
- [X] Creating a sample tool to create animated an gif from a .dat file
|
||||
- [ ] Finish the pixb2img to crop image if wanted (it only show imaged in their full 32x32 format)
|
||||
- [ ] Finish the pixb2img to crop image if wanted (it only shows imaged in their full 32x32 format)
|
||||
- [ ] Hardware documentation, there is definitely a serial port and other port on the board.
|
||||
- [ ] Maybe add datasheet of the components used on the board.
|
||||
- [ ] Find how they draw straigh lines and circle to have an exact match.

## MB701 known bugs
|
||||
|
||||
### 1 - Pixel tool overflow
|
||||
|
||||
#### Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
Using the normal pixel drawing tool, drawing too many pixels in a single stroke can lead to at least two possible outcome
|
||||
1. the artboard will crash and force you to power cycle it
|
||||
2. the history will not work properly, and you will not be able to properly undo/redo the stroke.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Reason
|
||||
|
||||
Considering how is made the current version of the PTCR format, it can only store 255 pixel per stroke, so having more
|
||||
pixel than this number may generate a buffer overflow at some point, this need to be confirmed with the reverse
|
||||
engineering of the main software, but with really long stroke crash has been consistent.
|
||||
Smaller but more than ~200 pixels stroke do lead to problem with the history.
|
||||
|
||||
Also considering that some history files provided with the artboard do have error in the pixel count on some long
|
||||
stroke, it is likely they also store this number with a non 8bit cap and the value do roll-over and create counting issues.

|

### 2 - Update not working properly with Mac OS
|
||||
|
||||
#### Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
Copying an update file to the MB701 from a Mac OS based system will not work, properly the file copy finish without any error
|
||||
but the artboard will crash when it is ejected.
|
||||
Doing the same thing from a windows system do not crash the board.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Reason
|
||||
|
||||
Unclear at the moment, but probably linked with the way show a FAT filesystem to the USB as I think it does not use a
|
||||
native FAT internally.
