SPI/I2C OLED display

[Mindsetup]

Any ideas how to get this to work?

[lokki]

probably remove the resistor at the spi location and bridge the connection at the iic location...

[Mindsetup]

I actually tried it. I also same time added the bridge between R8.

How to wire? I wired like this:

GND: power ground --> GND
VCC: --> VDD
D0: CLK clock (sdk/scl k) --> PB8
D1: MOSI data (sda) --> PB9
RST: reset --> VDD
DC: data/command --> GND
CS: chip select signal --> GND

But the screen stays black.

Okay, I got it work now, this is pretty cool!!

What did you do to get it going?

[Mindsetup]

I just removed all the wiring from breadboard and wired it again. Then it worked

The SSD1309 is compatible with the SSD1306.

This 2"42 OLED needs to be modified for I2C : remove a resistor, add three straps, connect the DC pin to zero for @0x3C or 3v3 for @0x3D...

The RES (reset) pin is more tricky and i had to experiment quite a lot before having something on the screen.

At the moment i use a little RC circuit so that the OLED display resets automatically on power up... but i think it needs some more experimentation to say if it is reliable enough. (without this RC the OLED does not work)

   VDD
     |
    | | 10k
     |
     +----------+-------->Res pin
     |          |
   ----- 68nF  | | 100k
   -----        |
     |          |
    GND        GND

Here are a 2.42" a 0.96" and a 1.3" displays.

You're the best, got some ssh 1106 on the way but will also order some ssd1309 now!

I'm working on an object that will allow to display 8 lines of 21 characters...

Work in progress...

[Mindsetup]

Is it possible to have a oled screen working with knobs so that when knob is turned the screen shows the value and string for the knob automatically, so it wouldn't need to have any buttons pushed. And after like 15sec when no knob is touched oled would show scope.

[spacelordmother]

You can do that in the patch with objects -- knob turn to send a trig to the object to switch to that string and then a timer to switch back to "main" string page display.

I'm away from the patcher, sorry I don't have any more detailed object names

[Mindsetup]

Thanks alot! I knew there was a way

[SmashedTransistors]

You can also have a look at the "remind4" objects.

@johannes had a great idea when implementing help pages, this is a nice way of documenting objects. The OLED128x64 has only 4 inputs corresponding to 4 lines. The remind4 can now be chained (since i updated the library). [image] The "chainTrig" boolean signals tells the next remind4 in the chain "hey, buddy, i've got something, please take my input and transmit it to your output".

Hey just a quick question about these connections. Did you just solder wires onto the Axocontrol board pins that were already soldered or are you running you wires from the axoloti pins underneath?
