Overview

Package ssd1306 controls a 128x64 monochrome OLED display via a SSD1306 controller.

The driver does differential updates: it only sends modified pixels for the smallest rectangle, to economize bus bandwidth. This is especially important when using I²C as the bus default speed (often 100kHz) is slow enough to saturate the bus at less than 10 frames per second.

The SSD1306 is a write-only device. It can be driven on either I²C or SPI with 4 wires. Changing between protocol is likely done through resistor soldering, for boards that support both.

Some boards expose a RES / Reset pin. If present, it must be normally be High. When set to Low (Ground), it enables the reset circuitry. It can be used externally to this driver, if used, the driver must be reinstantiated.

Types

type Dev

type Dev struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Dev is an open handle to the display controller.

func NewI2C

func NewI2C(i i2c.Bus, w, h int, rotated bool) (*Dev, error)

NewI2C returns a Dev object that communicates over I²C to a SSD1306 display controller.

If rotated, turns the display by 180°

func NewSPI

func NewSPI(p spi.Port, dc gpio.PinOut, w, h int, rotated bool) (*Dev, error)

NewSPI returns a Dev object that communicates over SPI to a SSD1306 display controller.

If rotated is true, turns the display by 180°

The SSD1306 can operate at up to 3.3Mhz, which is much higher than I²C. This permits higher refresh rates.

Wiring

Connect SDA to MOSI, SCK to SCLK, CS to CS.

In 3-wire SPI mode, pass nil for 'dc'. In 4-wire SPI mode, pass a GPIO pin to use.

The RES (reset) pin can be used outside of this driver but is not supported natively. In case of external reset via the RES pin, this device drive must be reinstantiated.

func (*Dev) Bounds

func (d *Dev) Bounds() image.Rectangle

Bounds implements devices.Display. Min is guaranteed to be {0, 0}.

func (*Dev) ColorModel

func (d *Dev) ColorModel() color.Model

ColorModel implements devices.Display.

It is a one bit color model, as implemented by image1bit.Bit.

func (*Dev) Draw

func (d *Dev) Draw(r image.Rectangle, src image.Image, sp image.Point)

Draw implements devices.Display.

It draws synchronously, once this function returns, the display is updated. It means that on slow bus (I²C), it may be preferable to defer Draw() calls to a background goroutine.

It discards any failure.

func (*Dev) Err

func (d *Dev) Err() error

Err returns the last error that occurred

func (*Dev) Halt

func (d *Dev) Halt() error

Halt turns off the display.

Sending any other command afterward reenables the display.

func (*Dev) Invert

func (d *Dev) Invert(blackOnWhite bool) error

Invert the display (black on white vs white on black).

func (*Dev) Scroll

func (d *Dev) Scroll(o Orientation, rate FrameRate, startLine, endLine int) error

Scroll scrolls an horizontal band.

Only one scrolling operation can happen at a time.

Both startLine and endLine must be multiples of 8.

Use -1 for endLine to extend to the bottom of the display.

func (*Dev) SetContrast

func (d *Dev) SetContrast(level byte) error

SetContrast changes the screen contrast.

Note: values other than 0xff do not seem useful...

func (*Dev) StopScroll

func (d *Dev) StopScroll() error

StopScroll stops any scrolling previously set and resets the screen.

func (*Dev) String

func (d *Dev) String() string

func (*Dev) Write

func (d *Dev) Write(pixels []byte) (int, error)

Write writes a buffer of pixels to the display.

The format is unsual as each byte represent 8 vertical pixels at a time. The format is horizontal bands of 8 pixels high.

This function accepts the content of image1bit.VerticalLSB.Pix.

type FrameRate

type FrameRate byte

FrameRate determines scrolling speed.

const (
	FrameRate2   FrameRate = 7
	FrameRate3   FrameRate = 4
	FrameRate4   FrameRate = 5
	FrameRate5   FrameRate = 0
	FrameRate25  FrameRate = 6
	FrameRate64  FrameRate = 1
	FrameRate128 FrameRate = 2
	FrameRate256 FrameRate = 3
)

Possible frame rates. The value determines the number of refreshes between movement. The lower value, the higher speed.

type Orientation

type Orientation byte

Orientation is used for scrolling.

const (
	Left    Orientation = 0x27
	Right   Orientation = 0x26
	UpRight Orientation = 0x29
	UpLeft  Orientation = 0x2A
)

Possible orientations for scrolling.
