In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a simple menu using a 128x64 SSD1306 OLED Display connected using the IIC (I2C) interface to Arduino UNO together with three push buttons. The menu is inspired by the menu from Flipper Zero - docs.flipperzero.one/basics/c...
This tutorial is for beginners, and I try to describe every single step in an understandable way. We would be using Photopea to create graphics, image2cpp to convert images into C code arrays, and WOKWI online Arduino emulator to test our sketch before running this on the real Arduino UNO. The final project uses Arduino UNO, a prototyping shield (but any breadboard is fine), an OLED display, and 3 push buttons (and, of course, some wires).

Do you like the video? Please consider buying me a coffee ☕, thank you! www.buymeacoffee.com/upir
i will definetely buy you a cofee when i start earning
Man, you went out of your way for this. You deserve a medal of honor!
Thank you, but I still don´t fully understand why this video is so much popular compared to my other videos that are very similar in style, but cover different topics. Perhaps the topic of the menu is useful for more projects?
@@upir_upirI found it looking for a way to get neat icons and all on the oled. The way you explained this with the websites like image2cpp and the wokwi example to experiment helped me a lot further then what I could find so far.
I always love that you provide full instructions for these projects. While I'm no novice with graphics, I'm still learning Arduino, so I can jump ahead, but for users who have no clue, omitting the graphic portion assuming they know how would leave them guessing and frustrated.
Thank you for your nice comment, I really appreciate your nice words. I was actually thinking that most of the viewers would be more familiar with Arduino and not the graphics, but I guess it should work the other way around as well :) Good luck with your projects and please don´t hesitate to share your creations, I would love to see your graphics!
Really like your projects, when i see them, there is always some inspiration for me. When i was younger i often thought outside the box - and maybe cuz i am getting older, its getting harder and harder for my mind. But then i see some of your stuff and can create something with it, so thanks for that! :D Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you for your nice comment, I´m glad you like and that it inspires you for your own creations. Good luck with your projects!
I always wished I had gone down the electronics toad when I was younger so understand when you say about it being harder as you age.
Most useful material about OLED menu, i ever seen!
Great work!
TNX for doing these!
That´s great to hear, thank you for your nice comment and good luck with your project!
I love your menus bro, keep going we need more of them ❤️
Thank you! I really like those OLED displays, so I´m sure there will be more graphics-content in the near future..
I've learned so much in this video. I'm just speechless. Thanks for your awesome work! 👍😊
Happy to hear that! Thank you for your nice comment and good luck with your projects.
I was just looking for this! Detailed and Easy to understand tutorial
Thanks man
That´s great to hear, feel free let me know if there is something else that you are looking for :)
@@upir_upir I'm Currently working on a Remote for my 3D printed railway. I'm creating a simple UI with Dashboard and a Menu. I think I will also try the u8g2 since its identical to u8glib.
Cool! Do you have any example/photos to share? There is just a slight difference between those two libraries that I will cover in the next video..
@upir_upir I shared the code, looks like youtube removed my previous comment because of the link.
Just the basic dashboard is complete and runs with ESP32 dual core. I have to add a few more functions and a simple menu system.
That’s strange, usually there is no problem with posting links. Could you please try it again?
Very nice video and project, this is one of the best I've seen in recent months, I take great insperation from what you do here, you inspire me to push on with my hobbie.
Thank you, John! I really appreciate your nice comment and wish you luck with your own projects. Please feel free to share your creations.
This tutorial is very well-made! WOW thank you so much :)
You're very welcome, I´m glad it was helpful!
Yeah, that's about it...
We obviously have had slightly different approaches around the images and text itself due to the nature of our workflow, but you handle the code "more conciously", whatever that means.
Anyway, it's a great learning material as always. I'll definitely come back to it in some time, and try to adapt it to my own needs.
Thanks !
Thank you for your comment Kshysztof. I always feel that my code could be improved, but hopefully it will get better with time and more projects. Good luck with your project and I look forward seeing your updated menu!
This is the best on OLED gauges, thank you for the wonderful presentation. With best regards.👌👌
Thank you for your nice comments and good luck with your projects!
Extremely informative ! , keep uploading such great contents
Thank you for your nice comment, I don´t plan to stop yet :)
Best tutorial i have seen... great job man!
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate your comment.
I'm still new to arduino, I watch your videos and they inspire me to take and do) Thanks for your work! sorry for my english)
That´s great to hear. If the video inspires you to create you own project, then it fullfiled it´s purpose.
Freaking useful! thank you, subscribed for sure
Thanks for the sub!
amazing tutorial, thanks for the tools introduced.
You are second, I’m glad you like it! Thank you for your comment
I love this ❤️ thank you for the information, very valuable for me who is still a beginner 🙏
That´s great to hear! Thank you for your nice comment and good luck with your projects.
Wow! C`est magnifique Upir!!!!
Thank you!
Oh wow, fantastic video as always upir, hats off to you for taking the time and explaining in such detail for most of us to follow along and not to forget @PCBWay for being such an amazing sponsor for your channel 🙌🏽
This is a job very well executed and along the way what I want to do with my one project but just on a 128x128 RGB OLED.
One question: Are you able to save the currently selected page to memory (the currently opened menu item) and display it upon power on as the first screen you see ?
Thank you for your nice comment! Yes, you can save the currently selected menu item / screen, use the eeprom library to store the value in eeprom. Just keep in mind that there is a limited number of writes, I believe it´s 100000...
@upir thank you for the reply.
Ah, that makes sense and will not work as the best solution.
Just a thought, but will adding an additional flash memory module not be the answer?
Keep it up! I love your work!
Thank you Jerome, I really appreciate your nice comment and support.
Thank you very much. Always appreciate your content :)
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Parádní projekt!
Diky diky!
very good video, very interesting...
i like you show all the process and get a better solution in the end
Thank you for your comment, I´m glad you like it!
Thanks for the video, great job 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great job!!!
Thank you very mutch
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
judging by how fast he talks, his processor is probably an overclocked i7 with a 2hp water cooling system. this comes with a twin cooling towers with forced air drafts. learned a lot from this tutorial. thanks
I´m glad it was still useful!
insanely informative
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Thats real hot Stuff!!! Thx. Best Video ever for explaining all around! Niceee
Thank you, I´m glad you like it. Make sure to check also my other videos where I use the same explaining style but with various different projects.
@@upir_upir Hi my Best, I watched your first CNC Project at least and go on to the Next I am interesting in, on your Channel. I am very exciting in your Content and you have a new Member for sure! I am at the beginning to make own Projects with Microcontrollers and I am very happy when I find any Content like Yours with clean and compact Knowledge and a good round about view of that. Best Greetings from Germany
Really useful - thank you for sharing
That´s great to hear, thank you for your comment!
Consider part two, with the following addition.
1) using 5 buttons (up/down, left - / right +, select (center button) or one rotary encoder with button to handle both, select, change (-/+)
2) functionality to select the current menu and change it's settings, like values,etc.
BTW, I always rewatch your videos a lot, keep up the good work
Thank you for your comment, Raymond. It´s not a big surprise, but I will record a second part with 5-way button.. at least I will try to :) Good luck with your projects!
@@upir_upir +1 for rotary encoder; thank you for this fantastic tutorial, anyway!
@@upir_upir +1 I too need the rotary encoder option from you. With kind regards.
i cobbled together some stuff like your suggestion to fit with my projects parameters!, i added an up, down, left, right and select button as well as an "ok" and "back" button! (ik im late but it was a fun project to try)
@@himikotiro8487 way to go buddy; didn’t play with this project because I’m currently working on a website design.
But will definitely return to this.
And again thanks @upir_upir for inspiring the rest of us :)
Absolutly awesome
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
Thank U very much for this video.its very informative .
You are welcome, I’m glad you like it!
Always interesting !...cheers.
Thank you for your continuous support! :)
I knew nothing about coding getting into this video. But I somewhat sort of maybe kind of understand now
That´s great to hear, good luck with your learning and I hope my projects will help with that!
Very good and well explained video, thanks for sharing. I thought I would mention that the correct way to pronounce PhotoPea would depend on the language it was developed from and I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and that foto pee is the original pronunciation, given that it is a small photo editor and that pea is often used to represent something diminutive.
I think you are right, also because the logo slightly resembles a pea stalk.. anyway, thank you for a nice comment!
thanks, new subscriber!!
Thank you, and welcome! :)
Thanks for video
You are welcome, I´m glad you like it!
Great video thank you👍

So much thanks!
You are welcome!
so coool man, gratsss and thzz!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! Good luck with your projects
excellent work :)
Thank you!
Nice video, would be interesting to see the same thing done in micropython so we could see the differences between C and python 👍
Thank you for your comment! Even when I have used micropython for few of the projects, I still don´t have the knowledge to put together menu like this... but who knows, maybe in the future. It´s surely a good idea to compare speed.
Thank you for the extensive tutorial, in the code I just would change the if statements to check the end of items, with modulus operator, and put the prev/next variables inside the loop as consts like so: const int item_sel_previous = (item_selected - 1) % NUM_ITEMS;
no need to banch out code.
Good point! I also try to avoid branching and this is a good idea. Thank you
Thx mate👍
Thank you, Bojan! I´m glad you like it.
In the video the int item_sel_next is not set to 0 when overflows :) You just substract with 0 which ends up with nothing :P
I know it's so minor but I couldn't prevent myself from mentioning it :D
Thank you for the great content !
Thank you for the correction. Please feel free to mention any of my errors, I´m still learning and I often make a lot of those - and sometime I see it after the video is published.. This will hopefully get better with time. Good luck with your projects!
Great video!
Thank you, I´m glad you enjoyed it!
I love it.
Thank you, and good luck with your projects!
Im trying to build a motorcycle dash and your videos are helping a lot! How would you make something work based on a button state? Right now i have dozen of bitmaps for each icon on the dash and it draws them if the pin is set to high, but its too hardcoded to work smooth as your projects.
Thank you for your comment, Roger! Unfortunatelly, it´s not 100% clear to me what you are trying to achieve. Could you please provide more details? If you don´t want to share it publicly, please feel free to send me an e-mail. It should be listed on the about page. Thank you and good luck with your project!
Great, tnx.
Thank you!
that GUI reminds of the base model Mercedes Sprinter’s gauge screen GUI
I hope that´s a good thing! :)
@@upir_upir sure is!
Lots of great tools in here, thanks! Can I ask what's the name or part number of the transparent keycaps so I can find it on Mouser or somewhere? Cheers.
Thank you, Chris! Here is a link on AliExpress - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmXS8B9
The oled looks really crisp on camera! Did you do anything in code to stop the flickering or was it just camera settings?
Nothing special. This particular OLED is somehow easier to film compared to others. That said, none of them are blinking to the naked eye, it´s only a camera problem.
UPIR - Thank you so much for this set of tutorials!! incredible tha quality, the speed, the details .. I was giving up to do something using OLED but based in your videos make me re think about use it!!!
Any chance to convert it to NodeMCU? Thank you in advance!!! Leo
Thank you for such a nice comment, I really appreciate it! I hope you will be able to create something great. I will take a look at the NodeMCU, but I have a lot of projects in progress, so it will take some time. Thanks again and good luck with the projects!
super!
Thank you, Michal!
This is God Sent been working onthis just today. if youcould show a video with a rotary encoder for direction and internal button for ok
Thank you! Yep, I might record another video if there will be enough interest..
Wao first person I encounter that gives a full explanation of their micro controller projects, this is too much to digest but well learning experience! cheers, can this be used to extract real data from car via odb?
Thank you for your comment and hopefully it will be easier to digest with more time :) Yes, you can use ODBII. I do plan to record a video about that topic soon.
@@upir_upir looking forward to learn about obd and make it functional for me
awesomeee
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
hello good day What would I have to change if I want to put a larger screen? I'm thinking about making a digital cluster for my VW MK1. and your videos are helping me a lot, I just don't know what it would take to get if I want to add a 7-inch screen (I don't know what type of screen either) greetings from Mexico.
Thank you for your comment. The approach for bigger screen is quite different compared to those small oled displays, but I would like to cover those as well in my future videos. What exactly are you trying to display?
Great video as always, but how would you make each selected option not be a photo. So if i selected the Turbo option on the menu, the turbo code would start and so on for the rest of the options. It would take a lot of coding right?
Thank you. It should not be hard since I already have sketches for all the designs, but it would definitely not fit on the Arduino UNO with the limited memory. That said, it might be possible to fit on something like ESP32. I might try it, since I would be also interested about the memory usage, and how smooth it would run. I would also need to make sure I´m not using the variables with the same names in those sketches, as they would collide.
Really cool video. At this point in my journey I have a good bit of familiarity with coding logical statements in Arduino and basic circuit design, so I’m trying to come back through and familiarize myself with how to control more ‘snazzy’ things like an actual graphic display (compared to the standard 16X2 that comes with Arduino kits, if you know what I mean).
When it comes to telling which menu items should be displayed for next and previous items from the array, wouldn’t it be easier to simply write something like
‘prevItem = (currItem-1)%menuCount)’ and
‘nextItem = (currItem+1)%menuCount)’ ?
Thank you for your comment. I agree that your code is easier, but might be slightly too advanced for novice users.
Excellent work …. Am curious tho could you make a boost controller from this project to control a MAC valve ?
Thank you! I think it should be possible, what do you plan to use it for?
@@upir_upir well I would like it to read inputs from the can network or directly from the ecu and control a Mac valve to control turbo boost levels and maybe display other parameters using one of those displays… me personally wold love one of those transparent displays
Truly amazing video, how much inch is the oled you used? I got one of those 0.96 inch oleds but it appears a little bit smaller than the one you used in the video 🤔
Thank you. The OLED screen used is 1.54", it´s much better compared to the 0.96inch screens - it´s both bigger and brighter - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlmCRtR
@@upir_upir Oh wow, thank you so much. I'm gonna order these ASAP! I'm trying to make a PID-based humidity and (hot/cold) temperature controller for my tropical plants growtent. Your tutorials are a huge help for me to move my project a whole different league! Thanks again and stay awesome.
That’s great to hear, thank you for your nice comment and good luck with your project!
Awesome video. Can you explain how to make menu with encoder, but on 1.8" TFT ST7735 display. Thank you for great explanation!
Thank you! I will record another video with the encoder, and probably slightly different graphics, but at this point, I do not plan to use color LCD, as it would require different library and I need to first get familiar with it a little bit... but for the future, who knows :)
Menu and submenu with settings that have a checkbox to enable/disable and settings with adjustable values (0-100) using a rotary encoder. For the second part, please!
Good idea! I do plan to record a second part soon...
Thanks sir
You are welcome! Good luck with your project
Nice
Thank you!
my godddddddddddddddddd.......................,,,,,,,,,,, really nice video..
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Wau sangat menginspirasi❤
Tambahkan subtitle indonesia 😂
Thank you, however, the subtitles were auto generated, so I hope it makes at least a little bit of sense…
This is amazing work!
Do you think I can edit the menu list and add link http link to the menu for playing internet radio.
Thinking of using EPS32
Thank you for your nice comment. Sure, I don´t see any reason why you couldn´t update the menu to do what you mention. Please feel free to post link to your project once you have it finished. I would be interested to see it!
That load of info was fast to acquire. Why did you divide128/8? Do you have a video teaching how to do submenus?
I´m glad the video was helpful. The 128/8 is because the used draw function requires the width to be in bytes, not in pixels. I don´t have a submenu tutorial (yet), but I´m working on it...
How would you save multiple animations to a single board? Also is it possible for these types of animations to be functional or are they more so just for entertainment purposes
Yes, you can have multiple animations, and yes, they can be fully functional. You are just limited by the available memory.
Hi i really like this and i am going to modify it so i have a list of ir codes that i can send
But is this possible for the nano maybe it has not so big storage?
Thank you for your comment, the Nano has also 32KB of flash memory, so there should be no problem running this sketch on this board.
@@upir_upir no! Thank you for the tutorial
Great tutorial. Thank you. I am using the OLED with a nano ble and have checked that my IC address is correct. The problem I am having is that only the top 10% of the screen shows the display. The bottom 90% is just white and black dots. I tried a second display and have the same result. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your comment! Try using this initialization line if that helps:
U8GLIB_SSD1306_128X64 u8g(U8G_I2C_OPT_DEV_0 | U8G_I2C_OPT_NO_ACK);
Hello, so I have a question about the U8g library in regards of using an "Adafruit ESP32-S2 Reverse TFT Feather". The initiation for the pinouts is weird because unless I am missing a piece the pinouts listed include only Power, CS, DC, Reset, and Backlight pins for the display. Is there a way to still use the u8G library initiation for this? I've initiated it before with Adafruit GFX library, but that one only requires the pins CS, DC, and Reset. I have the backlight turned on, the TFT uses an arduino ST7789 Chipset
In many cases, when it uses hardware I2c or hardware spi connection, those pins are not listed in the initialization, since you cannot change those pins.
@@upir_upir So what should I do?
IIC PROTIP:
A5 has 5 letters, as does CLOCK
A4 has 4 letters, as does DATA
This is very helpful, thank you!
thats a great way to remember👍👌
Hi, can you please explain, A4, A5 on one side and SDA,CLK on the other side side of the board are bridged?
Yes, those are the same pins.
Thank you for your video. Please allow me to make a suggestion. You need to slow down your narration. You speak too fast and it is sometimes difficult to understand what you are trying to convey. Otherwise, great video. Thanks
Sorry for that, I always try to find balance between too fast and too boring. I will try to work on this more.
How are you handeling the buttons ? are you using external interrupts, and how are you dealing with the bounces ?
You may want to view to the end
No interrupts, just reading the pin value in the loop function. There is no need to deal with the bounces, as the drawing loop takes quite a lot of time, so there is actually the opposite problem - not registering the button press sometime. I´m sure the interrupts would help, but I wanted to keep it simple for now.
Is it possible to assign different loop function for each menu, for example one menu called gas sensor would display a value from gas sensor like mq-xxx and update it in real time and the second menu would called "temperature" would display a value from temperature sensor like dht11?
Yes, that should be possible for sure. There might be a limit to how many screens you can fit to UNO with the limited memory.
Okay,that was a really great tutorial and I appreciate it very much.But I want to know where and how to connect it to car to get dashboard and boost gauge data?I just don't get it.
Thank you for your comment. This was mainly about creating the menu, not connecting it to the car.
For GPS speed, you don´t need to connect it to the car, as you can use external GPS sensor as described here - th-cam.com/video/dSD02o3M2sw/w-d-xo.html
For turbo boost pressure, you can use external sensor that acts in the similar was as a potentiomater - i.e. reporting different voltage based on the pressure - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFhEWPX
You can also connect it to the car with OBD2 and read the data from there. I do plan to record a tutorial on how to do that soon.
nice video it helped me alot! im new to Arduino so i dont know much but im working on a project that requires the buttons to be usable on multiple screens. is there a way to do this?
Thank you for your comment, that’s great to hear! Please take a look at my other video where I use buttons to jump between the screens, hope it will help you. Feel free to ask any questions.

@@upir_upir thats the video i meant to comment under im sorry and in the code you wrote a comment saying up and down buttons only work for main screen, is there a way i can make these buttons work on multiple screens?
@@trevorflores1019 It only works for main screen because there is an IF statement to work for the main screen. If you remove the IF statement, it will work for any screen. Let me know if that makes sense. Thank you.
@@upir_upir IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU!
@@trevorflores1019 Perfect, that´s great to hear!
Can we store multiple specific task in ( code to read sensor data and etc .) In menu items after selection it.
Could you be more specific?
I'm working on a college project where where we can measure sensor data (length, alcohol percentage, etc.) And save it with time and using RTC module in single device using arduino.....
I want want to know how you are going into selected options doing the task and generating QR code
Can you do same kind of tutorials for esp32 with u8g2 library!
Yep, that’s also on my todo list. In the meantime, here is the u8g2 version for Arduino-
th-cam.com/video/K5e0lFRvZ2E/w-d-xo.html
Wow I'm very impressed! You gained one subscriber thats for sure! Anyone knows how to adapt the code so that inside each menu you can change values up and down and enter with the same keys?
Awesome, thanks for the sub! Do you have a link to the menu that you are trying to create? I do plan to record more menu-related tutorials soon.
@@upir_upir I tried so hard and got so far.. but in the end.. I used async web server to control and display all the data I wanted to, and left the OLED display just for displaying data, this project is already getting a little big for me and a scrolling menu that you use with an IR remote was a cool but unecessary feature.
Still with help of chatGPT I got it to display submenus finally, but had so many problems inputing data and retrieving it, also I tried it to remember the last selected value upon entering again in said submenu... it all went south fast :D
Still I watch at least one of your videos daily, I llove your style and the topics you bring, keep it up!
@Adrian-yz7oe I’m sure it will get better with time, I wish you all the best with your projects!
Could be show me an example or explain how i could make a menu like this but then with submenus and functions
I´m working on the video with the menu project that also has submenus, hope that will answer all of your questions.
Hi which library is best for showing some variables fom different pages without flickering display (its happening when clear display command is used)
I don´t see any flickering with the u8g2 or u8g libraries. It´s most likely not a problem with clearing the displays but with a slow update of the buffer/displays. Perhaps the Arduino is too slow, or you are trying to do too many calculations/drawings. Try simplifying your code to see if that helps, or perhaps use a faster Arduino, like the UNO R4?
@@upir_upir adafruit ssd1306 library working without flickering.im using Arduino nano.its memory getting full. so i change to small size library but the problem is flickering. now im looking for esp 32 s2 mini. thanks for reply.
@pkp8559 switching to ESP32 should solve the issue. Good luck with your project!
Is there a tutorial for an AFR Gauge?
Do you have a dedicated sensor connected to Arduino, or are you getting those values from OBDII port?
@@upir_upir I basically want an AFR Reading from a Wideband O2 Lambda Sensor Bosch LSU 4.2 to be specific
I have a question. I'm trying to use a button interface in one of my projects with the Arduino Uno. But I'm encountering the problem where some button presses do not register because of the code not reading that precise line when the button gets klicked.
You seem to have gotten this to work without even using hardware interrupts. Could you please share how you have gotten your menu buttons so responsive?
Can you maybe measure how long your loop takes? This sketch updates I believe at least 10x in a second, so it´s a big chance that you catch the button press. If that would not be the case, using interrupts would be a good idea.
@@upir_upir WOW, Thanks for the answer! Means a lot for me that you take a part of your invaluable time to answer my question.
I will take that into consideration. I will check how long it takes for my sketch to update tomorrow!
do you know how to add turn off/sleep the screen to save supply consumption (for battery supply based)? I'm still wondering how to do this, either sleep the main controller/MCU, or the OLED module itself.
I have found for example this article about the power consumption of OLED displays - bitbanksoftware.blogspot.com/2019/06/how-much-current-do-oled-displays-use.html
I think that based on those numbers, you don´t need to care that much to "sleep" the screen. Just don´t draw any pixels and the drawn current will be very small..
@@upir_upir thank you so much for the info. I have found myself about how to switch the screen ON/OFF. The reason I do that is because I want to make a handwatch that use battery, that's why I need switch screen OFF let's say whenever I don't see the time
thx
You are welcome!
Hello there. Can you plese make video custom Icons animations ... and Menu on Arduini TFT 2.4" Display with driver ILI9341 or Adafruit_ST7789.
Thanks.
Hello, yes, I do plan to create some videos using those dispays..
The 4th letter in the alphabet is a D like DATA. Therefore A4 = SDA.
Someone else mentioned CLOCK = 5 letters = A5, DATA = 4 letters = A4.
I am using u8g2 lib with an esp32 and it seems that it draws also the black parts, for example when I draw first the srcollbar and then the selectedIcon the scrollbar dissapear in the middle. So i have to draw first the selectedIcon and then de scrollbar. Maybe there is an option for this.
Yes, u8g2 library has two modes for drawing bitmaps, just make sure to set it to transparent and you should be fine. github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#setbitmapmode
@@upir_upir Oh, Thanks!
Sure, you are welcome. Good luck with your projects!
Very cool
But how do you connect to car obd2 port?
Thank you. Probably the easiest way is to use some OBD2 Arduino Shield. I do plan to record a tutorial about how to do that.
When I select a title from the menu, does the new screen that appears need to be a photo? I want to make a menu for a brick break game. Can the oled go back to ordinary operation after selecting the "Start" option from the menu? Or should I make the game through photos?
For this demo the answer is yes, the "subscreen" is a fullscreen static image - just because I was lazy to make all the subscreens dynamic. You can adjust the code to use this menu to jump to whathere (dynamic) screen you want.
Actually, I haven't learned how to make the game yet.
@@upir_upir Thank you very much for your response. Do you have any suggestions for the brick break game? I'm kind of new to this.
how can i set it up on the screen , 1.3 inch oled SH1106 , thanks a lot
I have another video with 128x128 SH1107 display, perhaps that could be a good start? The physical size (1.3inch in your case) it not important, but the connection (IIC / SPI) and pixel resolution is. If you open the u8g2 documentation, it lists all the supported displays and corresponding initializations.
@@upir_upir i see 1.3 inch oled screen. i2c . driver SH1106 . as declared by the manufacturer. it has no functionality , scrolling and , generating code . for objects, motion,
Could you try the sketch from the other video to see if that one works? Is the “Arduino clock” one.
@@upir_upir ok thanks very much !
Is there offline image to cpp software?
You can just save the image2cpp webpage and it would work offline as well.
@@upir_upir Thank you
First this time 🤟🤟🤟
That´s right, thank you for your great support!
This guy is awesome thanks for supporting him !....cheers.
@@upir_upir There are more we should/could do together in the new 2023!🥳🥳
@@andymouse Couldn't agree more! @upir is an amazing partner to work with😀
@@PCBWay Sounds like a plan, let´s do it! :)
The best tutorial.
I did everytthing like you said but I changed buttons to joystick and it worked (at first) after to days the display begin freezing (like arduino works ok but display freezes, only way to fix it is restarting the arduino), sometimes display shows me wheird lines instead of icons and wheird symbols instead of text, can you hel me with that?
Thank you! I´m not quite sure why the display would freezes, I will try to run this design for a longer time to see if I can replicate it..
@@upir_upir Thanks for answering, I hope you'll figure it out
What screen diagonal is this?
It's definitely larger than the linked 0.96" version
Yes, this one is the 1.54" version, you can get it from here - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlS3EOv
And if this is still too small, you can get 2.42" version - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnscNsD
