This project contains a python module for interfacing with SSD1306 OLED device connected via I2C bus.
Partially based on Adafruit Arduino code
All code is GPLv2 licensed unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Use Black-Swift [VirtualBox VM] (http://www.black-swift.com/wiki/index.php?title=C/C%2B%2B_Building_and_Remote_Debugging_with_Eclipse) In virtual machine change directory to /home/openwrt/openwrt Copy sources to package/bsb_ssd1306_i2c/ directory, for example
Run and say yes for new bsb_ssd1306_i2c package:
make oldconfig
Run for compile package:
make *package/bsb_ssd1306_i2c/compile V=s*.
Check bin/brcm2708/packages/base/ for results (like ssd1306-i2c_0.3-1_brcm2708.ipk)
First, setup I2C on your Black Swift board:
opkg install kmod-i2c-gpio-custom i2c-tools
insmod i2c-dev
insmod i2c-gpio-custom bus0=0,18,19
This mean that SDA connected to GPIO18 and SCL to GPIO19
Connect your SSD1306 OLED display. Don't forget about pull-up resistors!
Check your connections:
i2cdetect -y 1
Example programm
from ssd1306_i2c import SSD1306
ssd = SSD1306(1, 0x3c) # /dev/i2c-1, device address 0x3c
ssd.clear()
ssd.circle(25, 25, 15, 1)
ssd.line(0, 0, 127, 20, 1);
ssd.update()
ssd.write("SSD1306 I2C", x=5, y=6)
ssd.update()
ssd.font("Fixed3x5")
ssd.write("1234567890", x=5, y=9, color=1)
