So since the past month, I have been working on an OLED display for the Launchpad. It is a 128*64 OLED based on the SSD1306 driver. The booster pack is currently configured as SPI to a MSP430G2452. Th

I managed to get the OLED to work with LCD smartie. Talks to the Launchpad via the RX/TX emulator@9600 baud.

All you need is a custom dll. Thanks to Rickta for his simple serial code.

Wow that looks really nice. I've played around with those OLEDs before the only issue I had is that you can't read back data when using SPI. Which rules out using a lower cost MSPs (G2231) :(

 

I noticed in the pictures in this thread the screen is blue. But in the store and your first post it is white. Will there be two options? or is the blue colour just your testing rig?

Well, the display DOES allow reading back data from the parallel bus... Bi-directional shift register anyone?

Thanks.

There are two spi modes.. 3 wire and 4 wire. Robg is trying to get 4-wire working in his4ch Voltmeter project. You can read back data in the 4 wire mode. Is there any reason you want to read back data?

It is white. My white balance was a little off. My little light box is below, made with cardboard and tissue paper. If anyone needs tips, let me know.
