OLED display does not show anything

Hi,
I am posting here to get some help. I am using arduino Uno for displaying load cell value with 1306 OLED display. I am using HX711 as ADC. My code does not display anything in OLED, but shows data in serial monitor and saves data in SD card. For test purpose, I am trying to print " Hi" in display. Even this command has not been printed in display. Where am I doing wrong?

I have checked Display with some example code. It displays the commands, which proves display in is working condition. I am suspecting that there has some problem in my code. Can anyone please help to find out the problem?

Post or point to this alleged example code. You may have mangled something trivial moving its good parts into you sketch.

To send to the display, don't you need to call the display.display() function. The only call to display.display(), in loop, is commented.

Added the code with my post

I removed all unnecessary lines from code. Now when I was checking serial monitor, it gives me message "SSD1306 allocation failed". This happens when I use Load cell+HX711+SD card+arduino Uno. The code is below"

On the other hand, when I run " Hello world " program (given in my original post), serial monitor does not show any error message and display prints the command properly.

Is there any conflict with clock?
Please help.
Attached is the connection diagram of my circuit. Additionally, I have attached a data logger shield above Arduino Uno to insert SD card.

Please include the entire error message. It is easy to do. There is a button (lower right of the IDE window) called "copy error message". Copy the error and paste into a post in code tags. Paraphrasing the error message leaves out important information.

The code compiles with no errors, but a few warnings for me. Win 10, IDE ver 1.8.12.

The code runs without any error. When I open serial monitor, it shows message "SSD1306 allocation failed".
It comes from the code

 if(!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C)) { // Address 0x3D for 128x64
    Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed"));
    for(;;);
  }

You call this more than once. It may not be the (only) problem, but it is at least unnecessary.

Right. There is no error message. But after opening the serial monitor, after the "
SSD1306 allocation failed" dialogue, it means that display was not found on 0x3C address. But how is this possible? For other codes ( ref: original post), display was found on that address. Do not understand why this is happening.

So, you meant if I have

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);

this line, I do not have to have

display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C); 

this line?

No, sry, I was looking at the wrong code. It looks like the latest does only and the same as the working example with respect to the display.

You do have both

 Serial.begin(115200);

and

 Serial.begin(9600);

Pick one baud rate; the earlier call is in the right place for Serial.begin.

Can you try your last program with the other device(s) electrically disconnected from the I2C bus?

You call Wire.begin before you RTC.begin, this Wire.begin call is not found in all RTC example code. It is down past where you have problems, tho, so I would guess not the, or even a, problem.

I don't think it would hurt and might help if you posted a schematic, a hand-drawn diagram showing how you've connected everything together. Don't get too carried away drawing it - meet us more than halfway is fine.

Attached is the connection diagram I am using. Additionally, I am using a adafruit data logger shield above Arduino UNO to be able to insert SD card.

Thanks for your kind reply and for all the things you mentioned.

Pick one baud rate; the earlier call is in the right place for *Serial.begin*.

I picked one baud rate 115200 and edited the code.

Can you try your last program with the other device(s) electrically disconnected from the I2C bus?

I tried the program after disconnecting HX711 from Arduino. But it did not help. Still nothing on display.

I have seen that if I comment SD library,

#include <SD.h>

and everything other line realted to SD, then display shows

"Hello, world!"

So, may be it the problem of RAM. But I do not know how to solve the problem.

Please help

Hi,
I solved the issue by using different library. The initial problem was in memory.
The code that worked for me is

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <U8x8lib.h>
#ifdef U8X8_HAVE_HW_SPI
#include <SPI.h>
#endif
#ifdef U8X8_HAVE_HW_I2C
#include <Wire.h>
#endif
#include <SD.h>
//#include <Wire.h>
#include "RTClib.h"
#include "HX711.h"  //You must have this library in your arduino library folder
