Anyone who is interested, a colleague has made me some little utils that I was missing.

We have:
Sleep x where x is the delay in secs
empdisplay < filename

empdisplay will show a picture full screen on the empeg display. Use Tony's editor to create them and just remove the first 4 bytes from his BIN files.

I have found that a bash script with several empdisplay lines in will do quite a nice animation on the display.

Enjoy
