Flashing error? (memory allocation failed)
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2018 9:05 pm
Hello, I'm running ssd1306.py to work my i2c-display. via writer.py I want to visualize a bigger font. I'm encountering some problems and was wondering if i did something wrong while flashing.
Allthough there should be enough RAM(?) I'm getting this error.
because i read it online I did this:
Does this help? Maybe a mistake flashing the firmware. I did it at 00000 I guess.
Another example:
Loading other fonts give me the same mistake. I also tried gc.collect() which I read online, didn't work.
Any clues?

First I will look up allocate and array, since I'm not a native english speaker but I'm afraid after that I won't know how to do what you are asking
