When using an ESP8266 one can:

import ssd1306

And the library is found, when doing the same on an ESP32 it isn't and you have to manually copy it up first.

Is this how it's meant to be?

Just to be on the safe side, what does answer? It gives you a list of the modules that are installed with the firmware.

You need to place the module into this folder during build time:
https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... 32/modules

Thanks but this is the build offered as a download, just noticed the ESP8266 build included it, the ESP32 does not.

Intention?

Yes, you are right. It is in the standard build for ESP8266, but not in the daily builds for the ESP8266, and not in the ESP32. If you want to use it there, just upload it to the ESP32. The driver is at: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... ssd1306.py

Thanks for that and I do, might be worth a mention on the builds page as without knowing newcomers would think something is broken when following the documentation.

Thanks for the question and for the answers. I just started using micropython. It's great and well documented. I never ran into any issue, except this one when I started using the daily build for the ESP2866.
