How to programme the power on image?

When the machine is power on each time, we can always see that there is a large logo “Ultimaker” on the LCD screen. I just have a look at the firmware and find that it is programmed through a so long code as following. I am just a little curious why the long code indicate the big logo. What code is it?:)

const uint8_t ultimakerTextGfx[] PROGMEM = {

128, 21, //size

0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfc,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,

0xfc,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfc,0x0,0x0,0x0,0xe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0x0,0x0,0xe0,

0xfc,0xfe,0xfe,0xfc,0xe0,0xe0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0xce,0xce,0xce,0x0,0x0,0x0,0xc0,

0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0x80,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x80,0xc0,0xc0,0x80,

0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x80,0x80,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0x80,

0x80,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x6,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0xfe,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x80,0xc0,

0xc0,0xc0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x80,0x80,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0x80,0x80,0x80,

0x0,0x0,0x0,0x0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0x0,0x80,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0xc0,0x80,0x0,……………………………………

    I'm guessing it's a set of pixels that are either on or off (I didn't make it, so I'm not 100% sure). The logo doesn't have a font in the machine, so this is the only way to do it.

    I also didn't make it... but it's no secret format...

    It's a (sort of) XBM aka X Bitmap.

    Commonly used together with the Adafruit GFX-library. There are tools to convert a monochrome bitmap, no need to count the pixels manually...

    ...for example this one.

    What's your intention...?

    Firstly Thank you tinkergnome for the answer. I just notice that sometimes the lcd cannot show the logo correctly, not each time,the image cannot be fully shown in the lcd occasionally .Also there is image Dithering sometimes.So I look into the firmware and try finding the reason. I did not change the firmware. I guess if the code is correct, maybe there is a problem with my lcd screen. Not sure whether my thought is correct.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
