Support for SPI OLED screen?

[anarchy89]

Hi,

I accidentally bought the wrong Oled screen. I bought this one Monochrome 0.96" 128x64 OLED graphic display https://www.adafruit.com/product/326 instead.

I was wondering if there is any way to rewire it or change the source code to make it work with this screen instead.

It has 8 pins instead of 4, the pin schematics are here https://learn.adafruit.com/monochrome-oled-breakouts/wiring-128x64-oleds

any help is greatly appreciated.

thank you.

The SPI (what you have) and I2C (the one we use) version are both identical in terms of the controller, it is just the wiring that is different on the board. It would be quite the under-taking though to rewire the board.

You may also be able to run two SPI devices (the screen in the nRF24L01+) by changing the CSN to select which one, but I haven't had time to do that yet.

It is certainly possible to make it work, but is a very involved task, requiring either substantial effort on the hardware side, or non-trivial effort on the software side. :(

Don't have any short term solution for you though... If you want to add support for SPI screens though, we'd definitely like to add the support. :)
