SSD1306 Driver

Hi All,
Just a question about the new SSD1306 Driver.
Can someone confirm if it will operate on version 4.71 please.

I am having no success compiling it at the moment and suspect it may use features only offered in version 5

Cheers

There is no vs. 4.71. Look at the vs. 4.0 versions page from the wayback machine:

4.071, is close to when V4, first actually started working. I'd say anything after perhaps 4.100, would work OK, but 4.071, was at a point where quite a few functions did not work as they should. The break point was around 4.100(ish), where quite a few things actually started working.

Have just tried and the code compiles OK, and works with 4.141, and compiles with 4.104, but not with 4.099.

It's the initialisation of the arrays with #defines that fails. You would have to hard code these to using numbers. Also I suspect you'd have to hard code the references to the ROM arrays, rather than using pointers.
