OK.
Key is that the 1305, is compatible with the 1309, not the 1306. The big
difference is the charge pump. It doesn't have this. If you send the charge
pump commands to a 1309, it flips part of the display.
This sounds like the problem you are seeing.
Try removing the S_CHARGEPUMP entry from the init_sequence. Take
the whole line out. The code will send one less byte for the init.
The rest of the commands look compatible. Not sure whether you will
need the SH1106 setting. It looks as if you will (it is a 132*64 driver, not
a 128*64 driver). |

Updated Nov2017 - I've changed the font and bar graph output to be 0-100
Second amendment Dec 2017 Now supports a new #define to operate the SH1106 display as well. Also slightly more efficient
This is an example of a slightly 'different' SSD1306/SH1106 driver, for people working with restricted RAM.
The problem is that these chips do not allow a read, when in serial mode.
Now if (for instance), you set a pixel, on a 'clear' screen, then this is
not a problem. However if you then go to set a second pixel, you need to test
if any other pixel in the same byte is already set. So you need to 'know'
what is on the screen. The solution with the standard driver, is to have a
RAM buffer carrying a 'copy' of the screen, and then you can test the byte
in this, and if another pixel is set, send the whole byte with both pixels
to the display. However if you are trying to drive the screen on a chip
with very limited RAM, you don't have the space for such a buffer....
This driver allows some operations on the display, using varying amounts of
RAM.
It is in two parts. The first is a 'text' driver for the screen, which
uses a 6*8 font which is designed to be clear even at the small sizes on
the 0.96" displays. It gives you 21*8 text on the screen, with the ability
to also use the font 'double size' to give 10*4 text. It includes
thirteen extra characters in the font, which allow a 'bar graph' to be drawn
using 9 characters, and giving 0-100 (actually 101). for a empty bar to a
full bar. Again the double size mode can be used, to give a bar nearly the
width of the screen.
Key thing 'for' these screens, is they work in a wide range of light
conditions and at low temperatures where LCD's give problems - and they
are cheap!...
The driver is for I2C mode.
Look at the comments in the driver and example, to see how it works:
ssd1306.h
| Code: |
/*
Now the big limitation.....
In serial modes (SPI/I2C), this chip provides no ability to read back it's RAM.
So we have a problem. If we want to write a line across the screen, and leave
another line that is already there 'undestroyed' where they cross, how can we
'know' the other line is there?. Basically the host chip needs to have a copy
of the display memory so it can hold a copy of any graphics and know what is
going on. Problem is that this is just not possible, on a PIC with limited RAM.
So this driver works by overwriting for all text writes....
But see further down for the 'exception' to this.
*/
//It is most efficiently used by preparing the whole line of text first
//and then sending this - it then uses a 'burst' transmission, to give very
//fast updates. It does offer a 'putc' though, but this is slower.
//It does not properly handle wrapping at the end of the line.
//The putc function adds support for \n, \r, and \f.
//Functions:
// OLED_CLS(); //clears the screen
// OLED_gotoxy(x, y); //goto column/row 0-20 for the column
// //0-7 for the row
// OLED_text(*text, number);
// //This sends 'number' bytes from the array
// //pointed to by 'text', to the display
// OLED_putc(c); //sends 'c' to the display. Beware though
// //if you go beyond the end of the line
// //- you'll get partial characters....
// OLED_textbar(width); //Displays a bargraph. With width=50
// //you get a 50:50 display of bar/void.
//Two global variables affect how things are displayed.
// size=NORMAL;
// size=LARGE; //switches between showing 21*8 & 10*4
// size=DOUBLE_HEIGHT //Gives 21*4 - great for the bargraph
// set=TRUE; //default. Pixels are 'set' when written, so
// //turn on.
// set=FALSE; //all write functions now invert.
//The CLS will now set the screen white. Text characters print in black
//Then the second part of the driver is a 'window' driver. With this you can
//define a small graphic 'window', and draw things into this. This can then be
//rapidly copied to the display. So you could (for instance), plot a tiny graph,
//end then draw this on the display.
//The window must be a multiple of 8 pixels high, and can only be placed
//at a 'text' location, so you can't put it (say) 12 pixels down the screen,
//but only 8, 16, 24 etc..
//The size of the window determines how much RAM is used. So a 64*16 window
//uses 128 bytes of RAM (64*16/8).
//Neat thing is though, that you can draw an image on the window, put this on
//the screen, and then draw a second image, and put this somewhere else,
//without using any more memory. At the moment, I have only implemented two
//functions to draw to this window.
//If you don't want the graphic ability, if you #define TEXT_ONLY, then only
//the text mode driver will be loaded.
//With the graphic driver being used, the following extra functions are
//available:
// clear_window(); //clears all pixels 'black' (if set==TRUE), or white.
// set_pixel(x, y); //sets a pixel at x,y in the window.
// //x=0 to WINDOW_WIDTH-1 (left to right)
// //y=0 to WINDOW_HEIGHT-1 (top to bottom)
// line(x1, y1, x2, y2); //draws a line from x1,y1 to x2, y2
// rect(x1, y1, x2, y2); //draws a rectangle
// circle(x, y, radius, fill); //draws a circle
// //This draws a circle of radius 'radius' centred at x,y. If 'fill' is
// //true this is filled....
//
// draw_window(x, int8 y); //This draws the window onto the screen at
// //x=0 to 128, y=0 to 7.
//What you do is simply draw the shape you want into the window, and then
//this can be drawn onto the screen.
//I have not included font drawing, since this takes a lot more space....
//'set' again controls whether a pen, or eraser is used. So (for example), if you
//wanted a 'thick' circle, you could either draw several using the pen,
//without 'fill' enabled, or could draw one with fill, then change set to
//false, and draw a smaller one, to give a thick ring.

delay_ms(2000); //pause for two seconds

}
while(TRUE)
; //and stop
}

On the chip used here, this uses 37% ROM (about 3K), and 23% RAM (58 bytes).
Now a larger demo, using the graphics mode
| Code: |
//same processor header
//display dimensions - the physical LCD
#define S_LCDWIDTH 128
#define S_LCDHEIGHT 64
//#define TEXT_ONLY //REM this out
//Size of graphics 'window' see the graphics section for explanation
#define WINDOW_WIDTH 64
#define WINDOW_HEIGHT 16 //sizes of the graphic window in pixels
//height must be a multiple of 8. //these must now be defined
#define SSDADDR 0x78 //address for the chip - usually 0x7C or 0x78.
#include <string.h>
#include "ssd1306.h" //The OLED driver
void main()
{
int8 ctr;
char text[9]; //temporary text buffer
//Remember if you want to use this for longer text, you'll need to
//expand the buffer....
delay_ms(250); //OLED takes time to wake
//now try to initialise OLED
OLED_commands(init_sequence,sizeof(init_sequence)); //initialise the OLED
//First try some text
OLED_CLS(); //clear the physical screen
set=TRUE;
clear_window(); //clear the window buffer
OLED_gotoxy(0,0);
strcpy(text,"Hello");
size=NORMAL;
OLED_text(text,strlen(text));
delay_ms(1000);
//now some graphics
line(0,0,64,16); //draw line in window
line(10,10,61,0);//and a second
//now write the window to the screen
draw_window(64,0); //at 64 pixels across and top of screen
delay_ms(1000);
set=FALSE; //inverted drawing
clear_window(); //clear the window to fully set!
line(0,0,60,15);
line(20,10,40,10);
circle(32,8,8,1); //just touch the edge of the window
draw_window(64,4); //put this window half way down screen
delay_ms(1000);
while (TRUE)
; //and stop
}
|
This is significantly larger (uses 192 bytes of RAM - this is the 128 byte
graphic 'window'), and over 5KB ROM. However still fits merrily in the
small chip. If you don't need things like the circle function, removing
these will reduce the ROM size a little.
Hopefully of use to somebody!... 
As a final comment, somebody posted asking for the minimum code to set a pixel on such a display. The following 'main' does this:
| Code: |
void main()
{
int8 temp=1;
delay_ms(250); //OLED takes time to wake
//now try to initialise OLED
OLED_commands(init_sequence,sizeof(init_sequence)); //initialise the OLED
OLED_CLS(); //clear the physical screen
//Now just write a single byte to the start of the RAM
OLED_data(&temp, 1);
while (TRUE)
;
}
|
Now one final thing. Remember this chip is a 3.3v device. Using 3.3v I2c, you need small pull-ups to run this fast (I used 1.2KR).
You can also use size=DOUBLE_HEIGHT; which is very nice for the bargraph.
But I hear you say, it says it can use 5v Vcc. Yes it can, but the core _chip_ is 3.3v. It has it's own regulator on board for the logic, and the logic can run at 3.3v max. Beware not to overdrive it if running off a 5v device....
Have had it going successfully off a 5v device, by setting this to use SMBUS levels (many PIC's support this), and having the pull-ups to 3.3v. Or if you pull-up to 3.3v, and use _software_ I2C, on a port that supports TTL levels it also works OK.
I've updated this to allow some expansions to the font if required. Have changed the master code involved here, and posted some example expansions below. 5th Jan 2018.
Separate update October 2018.
If using PCD, using ROM *, is quite inefficient because of the maths involved in 3 bytes/word, and then the gap. On some chips this also seems to cause issues.
There is an alternative:
| Code: |
#include <your_processor_file>
#device PSV=16
//Then the rest of your processor setup
#define PSV
//Then include the SSD driver fonts etc.
//Then your code.
|
I've modified the driver, so if it sees 'PSV' defined, it changes the pointers from ROM pointers to normal RAM pointers. The PSV option enables a special mode, where the DsPIC's map 32K or their ROM, into the RAM address space, allowing normal RAM pointers to access this.
Has a slight cost, in that only two bytes get packed per instruction word when this is done. However does bring improvements to overall code efficiency. |
This code is working well for 1.3 inch ( Driver - SSD1306)oled display with pic 16F877a, we need SSD1309 driver code and sample code for 2.4 inch oled display please help us
thank you |

I'd suggest you have something wrong with how the latter is connected.
Obvious thoughts:
Is it jumpered correctly for I2C mode?.
Double check the connections themselves. Does one chip have level
translators on the board and the other not?.
What voltage is the PIC?. |
