Hey all! I've scoured some pretty sketchy sites in search of this, and haven't found anything concrete. I have a need to use Adafruit's SSD1306 library for my OLED displays. The problem? I'm using these cheap ones which only support SH1106: Amazon.com I hear that there isn't much difference between…

I have here one cheap OLED screen like that and I'm using the library from Adafruit too, and without problems. I saw this: [1-Day Project: Arduino Uno and I2C OLED Display Challenge] video too, and it seems like yours, an he are using that library too.

Hi luisilva, thanks for responding. That was a handy video! Unfortunately, I can't get my display to work in the same way that the guy in the video did. The reason being that I'm actually using a Spark Core ( www.spark.io ) to run the display, which has a much more limited library selection than the A…

OK. Now I understand. From this discussion: http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=1150108 They point out this library: [image] GitHub - stanleyhuangyc/MultiLCD: Arduino LCD library supporting multiple... Arduino LCD library supporting multiple types of LCD s…

There is only one small difference between SSD1306 and SH1106: The SH1106 controller has an internal RAM of 132x64 pixel. The SSD1306 only has 128x64 pixel. First problem for standard 128x64 OLEDs with SH1106 controller is: How is the 128x64 window mapped into the 132x64 RAM? It seems, that the 12…

Hey Oliver, Thanks for the response! That's a super helpful starting point, something I never would have guessed. I'll have a look at Adafruit's display() method this evening, and see if I can't get something hacked together. And luisilva, I did see that thread a day or two ago, but I haven't had …

So, I've done a bit of hacking at the SSD1306 library, but so far haven't had any improvement (or even change) in results. The screen is still filled primarily (about 80% of it) with junk. The main thing I tried was expanding buffer[] to 1056 elements from 1024 elements (that's 132 * 64 / 8, rather…

In fact I do not much about the Adafriut library. But what i have seen the commands might need to be adjusted. Best is to study the commands, which are sent by the Adafruit lib and update them according to the display. It also seems that some internal drawing area is defined. This usually is not req…

Now I really understand your question, because I had the same issue. I simply change my library from Adafruit to u8glib. Do you get to something? Do you want to share your result?

Hi, For those who're interested, I've just update my port of Adafruit Library to be able to run with SH1106. I started with the one dedicated to Raspberry PI you can check out here I did not forked the Arduino one, but you can get into the source code, the modified part are only the begin and dis…

Does anybody already did Adafruit lib fork working with 132x64 SH1106 ?
