Using a SSD1306 OLED display
============================

The SSD1306 OLED display uses either a SPI or I2C interface and comes in a variety of
sizes (128x64, 128x32, 72x40, 64x48) and colours (white, yellow, blue, yellow + blue).

Hardware SPI interface::

    from machine import Pin, SPI
    import ssd1306

    hspi = SPI(1)  # sck=14 (scl), mosi=13 (sda), miso=12 (unused)

    dc = Pin(4)    # data/command
    rst = Pin(5)   # reset
    cs = Pin(15)   # chip select, some modules do not have a pin for this

    display = ssd1306.SSD1306_SPI(128, 64, hspi, dc, rst, cs)

Software SPI interface::

    from machine import Pin, SoftSPI
    import ssd1306

    spi = SoftSPI(baudrate=500000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(14), mosi=Pin(13), miso=Pin(12))

    dc = Pin(4)   # data/command
    rst = Pin(5)  # reset
    cs = Pin(15)  # chip select, some modules do not have a pin for this

    display = ssd1306.SSD1306_SPI(128, 64, spi, dc, rst, cs)

I2C interface::

    from machine import Pin, I2C
    import ssd1306

    # using default address 0x3C
    i2c = I2C(sda=Pin(4), scl=Pin(5))
    display = ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 64, i2c)

Print Hello World on the first line::

    display.text('Hello, World!', 0, 0, 1)
    display.show()

Basic functions::

    display.poweroff()     # power off the display, pixels persist in memory
    display.poweron()      # power on the display, pixels redrawn
    display.contrast(0)    # dim
    display.contrast(255)  # bright
    display.invert(1)      # display inverted
    display.invert(0)      # display normal
    display.rotate(True)   # rotate 180 degrees
    display.rotate(False)  # rotate 0 degrees
    display.show()         # write the contents of the FrameBuffer to display memory

Subclassing FrameBuffer provides support for graphics primitives::

    display.fill(0)                         # fill entire screen with colour=0
    display.pixel(0, 10)                    # get pixel at x=0, y=10
    display.pixel(0, 10, 1)                 # set pixel at x=0, y=10 to colour=1
    display.hline(0, 8, 4, 1)               # draw horizontal line x=0, y=8, width=4, colour=1
    display.vline(0, 8, 4, 1)               # draw vertical line x=0, y=8, height=4, colour=1
    display.line(0, 0, 127, 63, 1)          # draw a line from 0,0 to 127,63
    display.rect(10, 10, 107, 43, 1)        # draw a rectangle outline 10,10 to 117,53, colour=1
    display.fill_rect(10, 10, 107, 43, 1)   # draw a solid rectangle 10,10 to 117,53, colour=1
    display.text('Hello World', 0, 0, 1)    # draw some text at x=0, y=0, colour=1
    display.scroll(20, 0)                   # scroll 20 pixels to the right

    # draw another FrameBuffer on top of the current one at the given coordinates
    import framebuf
    fbuf = framebuf.FrameBuffer(bytearray(8 * 8 * 1), 8, 8, framebuf.MONO_VLSB)
    fbuf.line(0, 0, 7, 7, 1)
    display.blit(fbuf, 10, 10, 0)           # draw on top at x=10, y=10, key=0
    display.show()

Draw the MicroPython logo and print some text::

    display.fill(0)
    display.fill_rect(0, 0, 32, 32, 1)
    display.fill_rect(2, 2, 28, 28, 0)
    display.vline(9, 8, 22, 1)
    display.vline(16, 2, 22, 1)
    display.vline(23, 8, 22, 1)
    display.fill_rect(26, 24, 2, 4, 1)
    display.text('MicroPython', 40, 0, 1)
    display.text('SSD1306', 40, 12, 1)
    display.text('OLED 128x64', 40, 24, 1)
    display.show()
