SSD1322 Oled Display with a Pico?
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2021 12:36 pm
I have an SSD 1322 OLED display which I have used with a Pi Zero for a model train display of timetables. The display works OK but of course all the programming was done by someone else and I just followed a build guide.
I'd like to try and use this display with a PICO using SPI.
I followed a great YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlKJ5hvfs6s showing how to test I2C and get a display working but it was a different display to mine.
Doing a lot more research I discovered I needed to install the LUMA Package which I did and have luma, luma.core and luma.oled all installed via Thonny manage packages. I've tried running the I2C detection part of the tutorial https://electronoobs.com/eng_arduino_tut138.php which works when checking my BME280 board but does not when using the SSD 1322.
So I guess I'm not loading the SSD driver correctly. I've tried following the guides at the website https://luma-oled.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html but of course this all relates to Python on a Pi not Micropython.
Can anyone help with this in any way?
With thanks, Chas.
