Blue Character OLED 16x2 on raspi

Post by Kenni »

Hi

Has anyone info on how to use a Blue Character OLED 16x2 with a raspberry pi?

I can only find info on how to use it in java and arduino from adafruit.
Did not check how hard it was to get working before i bought it...

Thank you!

My skills
Programming: new newbi in python
Electronics: somewhat ok

The protocol differences between the OLED and a typical 16x2 character LCD are noted in the Adafruit Character OLED library. If you have code to drive an LCD for the Pi, the changes required for the OLED are not too difficult.

The Oled 16x2 display works quite nicely with the Raspi. I found it simpler to work in 8 rather then four bit, but in either case it does work
