Hello everyone
I need some help from you.
about creating menu's and interactable GUI with oled display[SSD1306] and mostly with arduino uno/nano or esp8266
similar to the one on this video here
I have already done many projcts with SSD1306 but when it comes to menu's I don't have any idea where to start
any help would be appreciated,Thank you
The referenced video shows the u8g2 demo "IconMenu" from here: u8g2/IconMenu.ino at master · olikraus/u8g2 · GitHub
IconMenu.ino Example is automatically installed with u8g2.
IconMenu.ino is not a graphical user interface, it is just a small menu.
U8g2 includes some ready made commands for such menu selections, for example here: u8g2reference · olikraus/u8g2 Wiki · GitHub
There are also several menu systems build on top of u8g2. One notable menu system is GitHub - neu-rah/ArduinoMenu: Arduino generic menu/interactivity system (@neu-rah)
U8g2 may also comes with an experimental menu system called MUI (monochrome user interface). However MUI is still work in progress, but it is already part of u8g2. More details are here: MUI · Issue #1747 · olikraus/u8g2 · GitHub
Here is a small gif animation of U8g2 MUI:
MUI example code is located here: u8g2/sys/arduino/u8g2_page_buffer at master · olikraus/u8g2 · GitHub (look out for MUI prefixed directories)

Thank you Oliver @olikraus , @Koepel
My plan is to make a user interface similar to your u8g2 library (MenuIcons)
And interface it with an IR transmitter to make a 5 in 1 IR remote
My issue is I couldn't find and good tutorial of how to create a similar menu by understanding how it works, I've tried YouTube, GitHub there wasn't and good tutorial.
Neu-rah was also a good library but same issue over there (I have a pretty good experience in Arduino's and displays (5 years ) ) but still it is hard to find what is going on in the code
It would be great if I could receive any kind of help
Thank you
