MB701 Reverse engineering effort
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
This git repository include all the file related to the reverse engineering of the MinBay
|
|
MB701 Pixel Art Board.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to document as much as possible the file format used by the Pixel Art Board, both
|
|
the [.PIX](PIXB.md) and [.DAT](PTCR.md) file, reverse on them is near complete, there are
|
|
still unknown part, but they are decipherable as is.
|
|
|
|
The second goal is to understand the update format and potentially allowing to use the board for
|
|
executing your own code.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
type of file related to the MB701.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### 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)
|
|
- [ ] 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.

## Note
|
|
This repository is obviously not related in anyway with MinBay the creators of the MB701.

I did not manage to save from their website and saved here. |
