I want to experiment with a 0.96" OLED I2C Display (SSD1306) … I cannot find a separate component. While typing this request I observed in the pop-up this has been discussed before (i.e bradzila84/highzl) … has this topic been completed ? ---

Hi vdbijlh Sorry not yet it is still in my to do pile. I will take a look at finishing it soon for you. ---

i made the mistake of grabbing one in a rush from the store because it was ironically the cheapest, back home… going through the addresses of the text lcd i2c node i scrolled through the datasheet [http://www.upgradeindustries.com/media/ebay/Photos/OLED/datasheet.pdf](http://www.upgradeindustries.com/media/ebay/Photos/OLED/datasheet.pdf) and almost suffocated in nervous laughter as things slowly dawned on me. Would it be possible to at least have something that can spit out 2 lines or so? Or should i toss the thing? PS: I get panic attacks when i see code, thats is why i love xod so much. ---

The built-in text-lcd-\* nodes are not going to do you any good. Search for LCD in the libraries ([https://xod.io/libs/?q=lcd](https://xod.io/libs/?q=lcd)) and one of the tft libraries might work for you. Once you have a library name, install it from XOD using File \> Add Library ---

I have one of these devices on my new [totem minilab](https://totemmaker.net/product/totem-mini-lab/). I’ll aim to create library over the weekend. ---

Very good 👏 As I said in another post, and another **`bitrex`** request, you need a node that allows you to copy and paste the bitmap, text or sequence in PROGMEM, in a simple way without editing the node. I hope it is not difficult to implement ---

oh my god, it actually works… its such an odd feeling when you dont expect it to work because you are use to it and then all of a sudden it lights up and i can even punch in text. MAGIC! i feel like a kid again ty 🙂 ---

This is great library @Waylon how do I get draw text to show fewer places on numbers? I don’t know if its the value being passed or draw-text adding it but I added round to create an integer before the number passes but draw-text still shows all numbers to the hundreths place. IE 1 = 1.00 Thanks! ---

I just hooked up the oled display and typed “1” for the text to display and it worked. It just showed a “1”. I bet you’re getting a number reading from a sensor. If so you need to link the sensor reading to a format number node and change the DIG amount on the node to 0 and then link the format number node to text for the oled. That should fix it. ---

Hello, long time… I seem to have run into a bug. I cannot connect the oled to my sensor setup. On the left i have my usual setup that works fine on its own and on the right i have your oled that also works fine on its own. But when i put them next to each other i dont get a reading on the watch node. If i try to connect them like in the second image i do get a reading but the oled does not update. Any ideas? ![Untitled](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/2X/3/3b75b91ed3c262b8bf9572cfd8e77601d773af91.jpeg) ![Untitled-1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/2X/6/6b3e233c9d1422659f34e5b2df66e31a301ae99d.jpeg) ---

I think it has exceeded the available microcontroller resources like clock speed or SRAM. What is the result of the resources used in compiler? ---

I’ve added a rotate-display node to my ssd1306-oled-i2c library: ![ssd1306_rotation2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/2X/0/0e9a911afea0bf5d223a1da2753ae0153e32e14e.png) I’ve also combined the ssd1306-oled-i2c-device and init nodes. The functionality of both nodes is now in [ssd1306-oled-i2c-device](https://xod.io/libs/wayland/ssd1306-oled-i2c/ssd1306-oled-i2c-device/) and init has been removed. ---
