PBMTOMATRIXORBITAL(1)

💅 pbmtomatrixorbital — bestie edition

okay so this is a section 1 manual page from the Pbmtomatri...ser Manual (yeah the title's got that truncation vibe, we don't gatekeep) and it's literally just here to teach you how to turn a PBM into something your tiny LCD can actually display. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pbmtomatrixorbital — convert a PBM image to a Matrix Orbital LCD image 🌈

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pbmtomatrixorbital

[pbmfile]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

periodt, so here's the tea: this program is part of Netpbm(1). 💖

pbmtomatrixorbital reads a PBM image as its input, and what it gives you back is an output image that you can upload straight to a Matrix Orbital LCD display. it's giving "make my tiny screen pop." ✨

now, the way you actually get that image onto the LCD? you upload it over the serial port that the display is connected to, using the program mo-upload.pl. and you get mo-upload.pl from the package pbmtomatrixorbital. yes bestie, the package has the exact same name as this Netpbm program 😭 and here's the lil plot twist: that package ships its own pbmtomatrixorbital program, which is slightly different from this one, because it's not part of the Netpbm package. two programs, one name, no cap. 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅
