Odroid N2 OLED I2C / SPI driver

taki · 11 May 2019 23:03

Ok I tested that works on k1pro

That’s great. Could you modify a vfd.conf file suit for your addon?

TheCoolest · 11 May 2019 23:49

You only need vfd.conf for OpenVFD. @roidy’s driver is completely unrelated to OpenVFD.

Good to hear, I make a note that vfd.conf needs to be removed.

# Odroid N2 OLED Driver
Odroid N2 Kodi service for controlling an i2c oled display.
![Untitled](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4118048/57568209-06776c80-73dc-11e9-87ea-a966197095fd.jpg)

### Download:- [Odroid N2 Oled Driver v0.1.4](https://github.com/roidy/service.odroidn2.oled/releases/download/v0.1.4/service.odroidn2.oled.zip)

__NOTE: This addon is in no way connected to OpenVFD and does not require OpenVFD to work, if you already have a vfd.conf file that is setup for the N2 then please remove it.__

## Supported Displays
This addon supports 4 pin I2C 128x32 or 128x64 oled displays that use either the SSD1306 or SH1106 driver.
This addon does NOT support SPI displays commonly identified by the display having 7 pins, although most SPI displays can be converted into I2C, this requires board level soldering and is beyond the scope of this documentation. 

Common displays that have been tested with this addon.
* 1.3" 128x64 SH1106 Oled
* 0.96" 128x64 SSD1306 Oled
* 0.91" 128x32 SSD1306 Oled

Thanks, dunno why I didn’t think of looking there.

Works perfectly here, N2 and 128x32 SSD1306.

Thanks very much, this is just great!!

taki · 12 May 2019 18:36

Perfectly

roidy · 12 May 2019 18:40

Lol… I was wondering if anybody had one of those two color displays and if my icons would line up correctly with the top color. Looks like I guessed the position right

rome1931 · 12 May 2019 18:46

How are y’all mounting the 128x64 displays?

taki · 12 May 2019 20:24

the only problem is not read from 2 meters.
big oled need

Depending on your room and watching conditions, I bought a 296x128 2.9" e-paper display.
It’s awesome, but it has no self-illumination, so it is only readable with lights on.

According to its datasheet, the SSD1309 should be command compatible with SSD1306, but I never tried it myself.

taki · 12 May 2019 21:39

I will buy one and try on k1pro

Pelican · 13 May 2019 06:45

You can find nice big oleds (256x64) for a bit more money here:

It works fine on a 128x32 0.96" display but that’s far too small for me who is sitting more than 4 meters away from the N2

Pelican · 13 May 2019 09:48

This would work:

I want to remove it from the pcb and turn 90 degree up and then I can cut a narrow gap on the top of the case for this.

ozolli · 13 May 2019 10:02

That’s an SPI module isn’t it?
