Please start a new topic. Provide datasheet and controller name of your display.

What is the u8x8 constructor for the st7920?
Ups, i have to correct myself. ST7920 display are not supported by the U8x8 interface. Only U8g2 works with ST7920 due to the internal architecture of the controller.

Greetings,
I am new to using this library; just started this week. Everything works as expected but I don’t understand what the firstPage and nextPage functions do? Does the library or device support page buffering? Where can I find documentation on this?
Thank you,
Bob

Description of the firstPage/nextPage funktion is here: tpictureloop · olikraus/u8glib Wiki · GitHub
The idea is only to save RAM.
Also: Please consider to use U8g2, which still has the firstPage/nextPage loop but also inclused a full buffer mode (for systems with sufficient RAM) .

Thank you for the documentation, makes complete sense. That's what I thought it was for as I've done it myself in other development efforts.
Thank you again!
Hello Oliver, firstly thank you for your incredible generosity. Every search I do for help you are the main man.
My SSD1306 128x64 is running I2C, works fine, then locks up after 20 seconds, the screen does not refresh until I power off.
So I was looking at this thread for help, assuming I am having a RAM issue? but I have 2K (Nano 328P)
and my sketch upload sjows 52% of programme memory and 14% dynamic memory.. ?
Should I change to U8g2lib ?
Some threads say not to use the 5v from the Nano and to power the OLED sperately?
And I remember you asking someone if they were using pull up resistors (on I2C)?
What are my first steps would you say?

Maybe look in the other parts of your code for the root cause of this behavior. I do not think that there is an hardware issue or a problem with u8glib. Also consider to create a new thread for this.

Hi there.
I could need some help identifying a LCD display: it is advertised as 128x64 display using ST7567 driver, using I2C interface. It has overall 8 pins, and is labeled as "mjkdz". The listing is available at the following link:
Now, when I connect VCC, GROUND, SDA and SCL pins and start the I2cScanner sketch, the device is not recognized.
Some other buyers also said that this product is false-advertised as I2C device, but for real it's a SPI device.
Has anyone had experience with this kind of display?
What is the minimum pins I can use to get the device running?
There is no constructor in u8g2 library for ST7567 128x64 with I2C protocol...
Can anyone help?
What is the problem?
The ST7567 datasheet says:
Serial interface (SPI-4) is also supported (write only)
The pins are clearly described. e.g. SDA, SCL, A0, CSB, RSTB.
SDA is just a generic term for "Serial Data" that often implies a bi-directional Data pin.
However this chip does not support read (SDO)
SDA may be used for I2C but I2C does not require A0, CS, RST pins.
The advertisement is misleading. I doubt that it is a TFT device. It certainly is not an I2C device.
I suspect that U8g2 supports ST76567 SPI. e.g.
U8G2_ST7567_JLX12864_1_4W_HW_SPI(rotation, cs, dc [, reset]) [page buffer, size = 128 bytes]
David.
I bought the product hoping that I will be able to run it with only 4 pins connected (i2c).
In the end, I will be using other (smaller) display: 0,96" OLED with real I2C interface.
Thanks for you response.
Nice lib, thank's !
The other day I tried it on transistor tester.
A display in this device on ST7565 controller and I noticed that dots randomly appear in my first columns.
I was approached by ST7565_ZOLEN_128X64_4W_SW_SPI
Where can I find a solution?
Maybe someone has ideas?
Thank.
