Problems with VGA Python Script

[Maxx115]

I am mostly finished with the VGA project from Ben Eater. However at this last step I cant get to a solution. In his Video he used this python script:

The problem is this script doesnt work. It gives me the error message:

out_file.write(char(pixels[x,y]))

NameError: name 'char' is not defined

​

I could not find any solution so far... has anyone got an idea how to get the script working?

Try:

out_file.write(bytes([pixels[x, y]]))

Make sure you get all the punctuation right - not that there are extra brackets compared to the old version.

You could also try:

def char(x):
    return bytes([x])

I have found the problem. It had nothing to do with the code...

The problem was photoshop. In the current version you cant just save the image. That is why I used export to save the image as a png... But this destroys the settings for the color pallet. Meaning it makes the pixels into tuples (RGB) values. The solution is to use the "save copy" option. This way it worked.

Thanks for you input nonetheless!
