Code:
void OLED_data(unsigned int8 * data, unsigned int8 number)
  //send 'number' bytes of data to display - from RAM
  {
     unsigned int8 ctr; // add "unsigned" here!!!!


Add "unsigned" to the declaration of ctr in the OLED_data() function as above. It will then work.

The reason it doesn't work now is because all variables are signed by default in the PCD (16 bit PIC) compiler.

Thaaaannnnnnkkkksssssss Newguy!!!!!!!!! to open my eyes!!!!

It's working perfectly!!!

Of course, it's wrote in the manual!!!!


From the CCS Manual page 39:
Quote:
Note: All types, default are unsigned. [PCD] All types, except float char, by default are
signed
. However, may be preceded by unsigned or signed (Except int64 may only be
signed) . Short and long may have the keyword INT following them with no effect. Also
see #TYPE to change the default size.

Sorry, I'm new with Pic33 and PCD.
Very important to use signed or unsigned on all variables we declare.

FYI, I chose to use a dsPIC33 because i needed for my application 4 UARTs and 2 CANs.

Thanks again Newguy!!

To Ttelmah (Thanks Ttelmah), thanks to modify your SSD1306 code Library on the top of the post.

Wish you a great day.
Manu from France!

I was just coming back this morning to post this.

There is another reason, which is simply that the OLED_data function was just designed to send data that would be part of a character, so was never designed with even the remotest 'thought' that somebody would be loading whole lines of data!....

Glad you have it working now. Smile

I've updated the posted driver with unsigned added to ensure nobody else has this problem.

Hi All,

FYI

One day, I bought a lot of Oled displays on EBay with different screen sizes.

0.49" - 64x32 -Driver SSD1306
0.66" - 64x48 - Driver SSD1306
0.96" - 128x64 - Driver SSD1306
1.3" - 128x64 - Driver SSH1306

and i added these lines on the Ttelmah code:
Code:


 void OLED_address(unsigned int8 x, unsigned int8 y)
 {
    //routine to move the memory pointers to x,y.
    //x is 0 to 127 (column), y (row) is 0 to 7 (page only)
   
 #ifdef SH1106 // 1.3" OLED DISPLAY  // Need 1024 bytes size array for full screen Logo
    x+=2; // Add 2 column offset
 #endif         
                                               
 #ifdef OLED_64x32 //0.49" SSD1306 OLED DISPLAY // Need 256 bytes size array for full screen Logo 
    x+= 0x20; // Add 20 column offset
    y+= 0x04; // Add 4 row offset
  #endif   

  #ifdef OLED_64x48 //0.66" SSD1306 OLED DISPLAY // Need 384 bytes size array for full screen Logo
    x+= 0x20; // Add 20 column offset
    y+= 0x02; // Add 2 row offset
 #endif                   
           
    i2c_start();
    i2c_write (SSDADDR); //select the display   
    i2c_write(COMMAND_ONLY); //we are sending command(s) 


and in the MAIN.C
Code:

 //If you want to use the SH1106 (1.3"), add this #define
 //#define SH1106
 // OR
 //If you want to use the 64x32  - 0.49" OLED Display, add this #define
 //#define OLED_64x32                                 
 // OR 
 //If you want to use the 64x48 - 0.66" OLED Display, add this #define
 #define OLED_64x48


With these case, the OLED_gotoxy(x,y) function is correct.

Tested and approved... by me
Wish you a great day
Manu

Well done, with the existing SSD1306, 1106, and 1309, it makes it cover an enormous number of displays!... Smile

Great work with this driver.

There is a small typo in the code at the top of the thread:
Code:

//Change here to allow multiple fonts
//This routine can be used by multiple output routines
#ifdef PSV
void FONT_line(byte * font_data, unsigned int8 count)
#else
void FONT_line(ROM byte * font_data, unsigned nt8 count)
#endif


an "i" fell out on the second void FONT_line, should be int8 not nt8.

Otherwise works as a charm.
Thanks.

I found this code from Ttelmah to be excellent....LOVE IT!
Unfortunately I did not have one of these I2C modules but I did have a 1.3" blue OLED that has the SH1106 controller which was set-up for SPI mode, supposedly it shows a jumper with a resistor that you can select to change from SPI to I2C but unfortunately that never worked and when I called the vendor he just told me that this module ONLY worked on SPI and cannot be modified. This is one of those cheap modules for $9.00 you can get from Amazon, but when you get them working they are great little displays. So basically I just took Ttelmah's code and modified a couple of files so I can run it using the SPI mode. So I have changed and re-named the original "mainssdtext.c" to "mainssdtext_spi.c" and "SSD1306.h" to "SSD1306-RR_spi.h" I used the PIC24 that comes with the new Explorer 16/32 board from Microchip to test this hardware, but of course you can change the platform to whatever you want. The display works beautifully, very nice Ttelmah did a nice job with this code. The only thing about these SPI modules (at least with the one I got) there is a RST pin and you need to tie that pin high or it will NOT work.
The following is the modified code.
Code:
/*#include <18F13K22.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO, PLLEN, NOXINST, NOMCLR, NOLVP, STVREN, PCLKEN, NOFCMEN
#fuses NOIESO, NOPUT, BORV22, NODEBUG, NOPROTECT, NOWDT, WDT512

#pin_select SCK1OUT=PIN_G6
#pin_select SDI1=PIN_G7
#pin_select SDO1=PIN_G8



#use delay(crystal= 8.00MHz, clock = 32000000,restart_wdt)

then the modified header file

Code:
/*
Now the big limitation.....
In serial modes (SPI/I2C), this chip provides no ability to read back it's RAM.
So we have a problem. If we want to write a line across the screen, and leave
another line that is already there 'undestroyed' where they cross, how can we
'know' the other line is there?. Basically the host chip needs to have a copy
of the display memory so it can hold a copy of any graphics and know what is
going on. Problem is that this is just not possible, on a PIC with limited RAM.
So this driver works by overwriting for all text writes....

But see further down for the 'exception' to this.
*/
//It is most efficiently used by preparing the whole line of text first
//and then sending this - it then uses a 'burst' transmission, to give very
//fast updates. It does offer a 'putc' though, but this is slower.
//It does not properly handle wrapping at the end of the line.
//The putc function adds support for \n, \r, and \f.
//Functions:
//    OLED_CLS(); //clears the screen
//    OLED_gotoxy(x, y); //goto column/row 0-20 for the column
//                             //0-7 for the row
//    OLED_text(*text,  number);
//                             //This sends 'number' bytes from the array
//                             //pointed to by 'text', to the display
//    OLED_putc(c);            //sends 'c' to the display. Beware though
//                             //if you go beyond the end of the line
//                             //- you'll get partial characters....
//    OLED_textbar(width);     //Displays a bargraph. With width=50
//                             //you get a 50:50 display of bar/void.
//Two global variables affect how things are displayed.
//    size=NORMAL;
//    size=LARGE;              //switches between showing 21*8 & 10*4
//    size=DOUBLE_HEIGHT //Gives 21*4 - great for the bargraph
//    set=TRUE;                //default. Pixels are 'set' when written, so
//                             //turn on.
//    set=FALSE;               //all write functions now invert.
//The CLS will now set the screen white. Text characters print in black

//Then the second part of the driver is a 'window' driver. With this you can
//define a small graphic 'window', and draw things into this. This can then be
//rapidly copied to the display. So you could (for instance), plot a tiny graph,
//end then draw this on the display.
//The window must be a multiple of 8 pixels high, and can only be placed
//at a 'text' location, so you can't put it (say) 12 pixels down the screen,
//but only 8, 16, 24 etc..
//The size of the window determines how much RAM is used. So a 64*16 window
//uses 128 bytes of RAM (64*16/8).
//Neat thing is though, that you can draw an image on the window, put this on
//the screen, and then draw a second image, and put this somewhere else,
//without using any more memory. At the moment, I have only implemented two
//functions to draw to this window.
//If you don't want the graphic ability, if you #define TEXT_ONLY, then only
//the text mode driver will be loaded.
//With the graphic driver being used, the following extra functions are
//available:
//   clear_window();          //clears all pixels 'black' (if set==TRUE), or white.
//   set_pixel(x, y);         //sets a pixel at x,y in the window.
//                            //x=0 to WINDOW_WIDTH-1 (left to right)
//                            //y=0 to WINDOW_HEIGHT-1 (top to bottom)
//   line(x1, y1, x2, y2);    //draws a line from x1,y1 to x2, y2
//   rect(x1, y1, x2, y2);    //draws a rectangle
//   circle(x, y, radius, fill); //draws a circle
//   //This draws a circle of radius 'radius' centred at x,y. If 'fill' is
//   //true this is filled....
//
//   draw_window(x, int8 y);  //This draws the window onto the screen at
//                            //x=0 to 128, y=0 to 7.
//What you do is simply draw the shape you want into the window, and then
//this can be drawn onto the screen.
//I have not included font drawing, since this takes a lot more space....
//'set' again controls whether a pen, or eraser is used. So (for example), if you
//wanted a 'thick' circle, you could either draw several using the pen,
//without 'fill' enabled, or could draw one with fill, then change set to
//false, and draw a smaller one, to give a thick ring.

Well done. Smile

As a comment you can jumper those modules to I2C (done it on several).
You normally have to enable the pull-up where it shows, but you have to then remove one other resistor, and also one link to change one line. Key is to sit
down with the data sheet and bus where all the wires are going. Probably
more work than using SPI!...

Hi, I want make menu with icon, for example this level battery:
Code:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// LEVEL  BAT
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0xE0, 0xF0, 0xF8, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0x80,

};
static uint8_t bat_2 [32] = {
0xE0, 0xF0, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF8, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF8, 0xF8, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0x80,
0x07, 0x0F, 0x1F, 0x1C, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1C, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1C, 0x1C, 0x1C, 0x1C, 0x0F, 0x07, 0x01
};
static uint8_t bat_3 [32] = {
0xE0, 0xF0, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF8, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF8, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF8, 0xF8, 0x38, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0x80,

};
static uint8_t bat_4 [32] = {
0xE0, 0xF0, 0xF8, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0x38, 0xB8, 0xB8, 0x38, 0x38, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0x80,
0x07, 0x0F, 0x1F, 0x1C, 0x1C, 0x1D, 0x1F, 0x1F, 0x1D, 0x1D, 0x1D, 0x1D, 0x1C, 0x0F, 0x07, 0x01
};

Can you make a function for draw icon on x,y coords, please?

That would use an absolutely enormous amount of time and code.
Use characters instead, and draw them at character position, not
graphic positions.
How to generate characters and do this is shown by the bar graph stuff.

#case
is very important to me, because my own code is portable and gets reused outside of CCS for our many other projects.

==> Beware that this code won't compile as-is if you use #case. <==

Lines like this:
Code:
void FONT_line(ROM byte * font_data, unsigned int8 count)

must be rewritten to be more universally formatted like this:
Code:
void FONT_line(rom BYTE * font_data, unsigned int8 count)

(rom must be lower case, and byte must be upper case for example)

Despite the necessary tweaking, I very much appreciate this code being posted here! You saved us all a great many programming and debugging hours by posting this. Thank you!

Hello,

I am currently programming a PIC18F45K50 with PCH 5.093 for a 128x32 I2C OLED with integrated level shifters (Adafruit #4440) using Ttelmah's code (BIG thanks from me too).
Since SPI devices are also design, software I2C is used (RD1, RD2, each with 2k2 pull ups to 5V).
There are two other I2C devices: 24LC16BT and MCP9800
Code:

#device ICD=2  // ICD using the second port for debugging
#fuses NOWDT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,NOCPUDIV,XINST,PROTECT   // ICSP2 enables dedicated programming/debug pins
#use delay(int=8MHz, clock=48MHz, USB_FULL, act=USB) // crystal less mode with act
#use i2c(master, sda=Device_SDA, scl=Device_SCL, FAST=400000, FORCE_SW)

I saw and used the sample main code, but got error messages unless '#define PSV' was set.
Frankly speaking I haven't seen PSV before? Is it mainly used for Pic24 / 32 devices?

Code:
#define S_LCDWIDTH  128
#define S_LCDHEIGHT 32
were set in the main code, but no output.

I saw that for the 128x32 two changes have to be made in the init_sequence;
Code:
S_SETMULTIPLEX, 0x1f, // text is shown bright,  0x3f works sometimes too (lower brightness)
S_SETCOMPINS, 0x02,   // no more a distorted display
Not sure if the settings are specific for the 128x32 resolution and/or the Adafruit Oled.

Additionally the array declarations were modified, else no data was sent (?)
Code:
//ROM BYTE font[] =
byte font[] =

//ROM BYTE init_sequence[] = S_DISPLAYOFF,
byte init_sequence[] = S_DISPLAYOFF,

I guess 'ROM BYTE' is used for the PIC24/32.

Code:
#define SSDADDR 0x78
was right for the display, always a bit confusing that the 'half address' 0x3C is often specified.

Text and graphics are displayed now.
There is one hardware issue:
There is only an output if a pin of a logic analyzer or scope is connected to SCL.
I measured a rise and fall time of 500 ns for SCL.
After removing the 2k2 pull ups it works. The Adafruit has 10k pull ups on the board.
The two other I2C have not been tested.

With the TEXT_ONLY define, the program with one NORMAL size and one LARGE size 'Hello' using 'OLED_text(text,strlen(text))' needs 747 bytes Data (36%) and 2992 bytes Program
Is there anything which can be done to avoid the static font array in Data which has the amount of memory?
ROM BYTE is not possible for a 18F45K50?

Thanks for any comments !

OK.

Yes, PSV is specifically for the PCD chips. It does say above that post:
"alternative way of running for PCD".
My original source code is for a PIC18, and runs on these.

No, you want ROM. Read the manual!... ROM is an alternative way of
declaring 'const' values, that allow pointers to be constructed. If you
try to work without this, you will be using all your RAM for things like
the font tables....
'ROM byte' is perfectly legal for the PIC 18 chip.

Without '#define PSV' PCH compile errors are shown, starting from the Font_line function declaration.

-> this is caused by a typo in the code
void FONT_line(ROM byte * font_data, unsigned nt8 count)
With int8 in the second parameter AND not defining PSV,
the sample program works with very little RAM Very Happy

It was reported before, but I did not check it in the code in the beginning

Yes, PrinceNai reported this, but since it had been corrected in all the
subsequent posts I hadn't bothered to correct it. Have done so now,

Just worth explaining.

On the PIC16/18, the only way to have ROM based storage, that can be
accessed with pointers is the 'ROM' declaration. So this is used.
However on the DsPIC's (24/30/33), you can instead map part of the
ROM into a 'virtual' page in the RAM, and use this as if the ROM data
is in the RAM. This is Program Space Visibility (PSV). So it is tidier (and
a little quicker) to use this on these chips.

The original code was actually 'cut and pasted' from running PIC18 sources
however when I added the amendments to add support for PSV, I must
have deleted one 'i'.... Sad
