I2C display not working
I2C display not working
Hi, and happy new year!
To replace the 2 digits 7-segments display, I am trying to install a IIC display (this one). It's a 128x32 OLED SSD1306 device, with ID=0x3C
I can use it with an Arduino, with the Adafruit sample code, on 3.3V and 5V, but it keeps blank when connected on the Gotek.
I tried to connect pull-up resistors with the same result, and connecting to the 5V connector.
I tried with and without .CFG files (removing the indexed mode .CFG with a normal .CFG), and upgraded to HXCFEUSB_V3_1_1_0a.UPD
What could be wrong?
Kind regards,
Xavier Miller.

The display or course.
Re: I2C display not working
this is the root cause of the problem.
Try to connect the screen and attempt an update firmware with the latest firmware version (even if already done). The screen should work after the update. then remove the usb stick, enter the config menu. press both buttons and set the screen init delay to the max value. exit properly the menu.
Re: I2C display not working
OK, I will try it!
Thanks for your high quality support!

Re: I2C display not working
FYI here is another user with the same screen and the same issue... :
http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopi ... e&start=45
the problem was "mostly" solved thanks to the delay option. For some reasons these "diymore" screens need lots of time after the power up to be initialized... the firmware option allows you to add some extra delay for the screen init, and the firmware update trick give some time to the screen when you have not yet set this option...
Re: I2C display not working
Yeah, I also have that initialization delay issue with the Arduino. If this is too annoying, I will get the recommended screen.

Re: I2C display not working
Very interesting. Thanks for confirmation that you got the issue in a totally different context ! (i mean outside the HxC/Gotek context).

BTW the ebay item 302110929185 is currently out of stock (I2C models)

Hi,
The display is always blank. I will order the recommended one. Do you want this bad sample for your laboratory, as poisoned gift?
