SSD1306 OLED Driver

Hi,

Anybody have SSD1306 OLED Driver? I want to use it with PIC16F1939.

I have tried to convert Microchip's development boards C18 code to CCS but its very complicated. (link: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en556328)
So many differences and I try to write driver myself.

If somebody have driver for SSD1306, i will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have looked it before. It's Hıtech code for orbit16. Orbit16 website requires membership and you can not be member without an invitation. So can't download. Like this its not open source.

I have spent months on and off on this.

I have it partially working on both SPI and I2C.

The big problem is most of the drivers out there (Arduino etc) use a micro (usually Atmel) with more than 1K of ram.

The drivers use the ram as a "shadow", so the graphics stuff just writes to ram, than the buffer ram is simply written page by page (8 of them).

To write to the individual pixels directly is complicated.

At the moment I can write small fonts to the screen, but I am having the usual problems of font array sizes, pointers etc.

I will happily privately send you what I have if you are serious about this, and have the time to dedicate to it.

I am using PIC16F and that's a big problem for ram and pointers.

send me a PM

I have a driver I wrote for the SSD1305 last year on PIC18. I don't know if the ssd1306 is the same.

But, it is my employers copyright and I can't give it to you.

What I can do is help if you run into troubles with your own code.
