Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

My next project includes the need for a OLED display. Just curious if anyone has worked on this before and how it turned out.

The OLED displays I have worked with are similar to LCD displays
as most use the same drivers and chareacter sets.

the wiring for a basic OLED is the same as LCDs.

there for the standard code in MMBasic for LCDs would work with
OLED displays.

Bill,

Were those graphic displays? I need large display, with large font and graphics.

I am familiar with LCD's and mmbasic.

The 4 * 20 and 2 * 16 OLED displays are available from the
picaxe website. With or without serial or I2C interface modules

Have a look at:
http://www.4dsystems.com.au/

they have larger OLED graphical displays with serial interfaces, and world wide distributors.
