ssd1351 Library Brightness

Post by TheTinkerer »

Hello! I have a 1.5" color OLED display, and would like to dim the display or set it to a brightness with something like tft.setBrightness(255); is this possible? Thanks!

Sorry, there's no overall brightness control for the OLED.

Bummer. How come there is for the .96" monochrome OLED and not this one?

Found a f=different library that does this -

The SSD1351 controller in the OLED128 supports user-programmable pixel intensities via the "grayscale table". The "grayscale table" also determines gamma.

FTOLED supports three default pixel intensity levels:

setDefaultGrayscaleTable();
setBrightGrayscaleTable();
setDimGrayscaleTable();
Calling setBrightGrayscaleTable() or setDimGrayscaleTable() will result in a display that is slightly brighter or somewhat dimmer than the default.

I'll use this FTOLED Library instead.

We've found that those sorts of "dimming" operations don't really make much of a difference in brightness.

Hi @Thetinkerer @ Adafruit_Support

Is it possible (or) is it ok to use FTOLED Library from freetronics for Adafruit ssd1351 ?

I'm not familiar with that library. If it works, then there's not reason why you can't use it.

Hi vena, have you had any success with the FTOLED Library from freetronics to control the brightness of the Adafruit ssd1351 OLED?
I am struggling with it :(
