Issue interacing SSD1315 I2C OLED Display

[maximagination1]

Hi there. Could anyone please help me to make this code work with a "Grove SSD1315" 4-pin display? Nothing is showing up on the OLED display after uploading the code. Thanks in advance.

Hi @maximagination1 ,

Was busy with some work so could not spend a lot of time researching it.

Here are some of the links that I found helpful:

From what I understand you might have to go through the documentation to see the exact pins you will have to initialize in order to make it work. And also you will have to modify the function calls.

eg:

u8g2 way of printing a string:

u8g2.clearBuffer();                   // clear the internal memory    
u8g2.setFont(u8g2_font_ncenB08_tr);   // choose a suitable font    
u8g2.drawStr(0,10,"Hello World!");    // write something to the internal memory   
u8g2.sendBuffer();                    // transfer internal memory to the display    
delay(1000); 

Adafruit_SSD1306 method:

display.clearDisplay();
display.setTextSize(2);             // Draw 2X-scale text
display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
display.setCursor(10,5);
display.println("Dino Game");
display.display();

Hi Harsh, Thanks for putting in the research into this, I appreciate it! Although I started finding a way to recreate this Dino Game on an OLED display in the beginning, I didn't wait and have already moved onto doing it all on a 16x2 LCD instead. I'll keep your tip in mind for when I deal with these displays in the future. Thanks anyway! Have a good weekend. Best Regards, Max
