SPKDisplay - A mbed display class and processing imaging tools for 128x64 OLEDs using the SSD1305 driver, connected via SPI. This variant drives a Unigraphics oled on the same driver but in page mode. Includes a simple 5x7 ascii font

OLED driver and demo for Univision oled display 128x64.

/media/uploads/pegcjs/_scaled_20130128_133126.jpg

Modified Toby Harris' code to run page mode addressing in 4 wire SPI on the Univision UG-2864HSWEG01 128X64 unit - often found for sale on ebay. That's where I got mine anyhow.

Wiring this was fairly straightforward but you really do have to ground all the unused pins EXCEPT for number 8 to get it to work.

Here's the layout - I made a little carrier using a 2x8 connector and a couple of headers mounted on a small piece of stripboard. You can see all the wire links that are used to ground the unused pins. It was pretty awkward setting the display to run in 4 wire spi - had to desolder and resolder three smd o ohm links on the back o fhte pcb - ended up using a microscope to see them.

Here is the output of the demo code.

In page mode the display is effectively divided up into 8 horizontal strips, each 8 pixels high so lends itself nicley to displaying text in a 5x7 font. I've included the 5x7 lcd font in the code below.

+  * This library includes two processing sketches to create a font and full-screen image in the required byte representations.
