Drawing Bitmaps

There is a built in microSD card slot into the shield, and we can use that to load bitmap images! You

will need a microSD card formatted FAT16 or FAT32 (they almost always are by default).

Its really easy to draw bitmaps. Lets start by downloading this image of pretty flowers (pix by

johngineer)

Copy purple.bmp into the base directory of a microSD card and insert it into the microSD socket in

the shield. Now upload the file->examples->Adafruit_ILI9341->spitftbitmap example to your

Arduino + shield. You will see the flowers appear!
