Which board manager profile do you use? I'm starting to run into an issue using earlphilhower's profiles. If I try to include a second library into my sketch, I get a Failed to Upload error. For example, I'll start with the core Joystick lib and compile my code fine. I'll have a second sketch with the ssd1306 library and it'll compile fine. As soon as I start to combine the code (down to calling the constructor of a second lib) the compile / upload fails.
Last year I made a project with pico using ssd1306 in CircuitPython, last week I wanted to upgrade that project to add more menus, etc but I keep getting memory allocation failed errors so I can not add more I guess. Should I switch to another board with a bigger sram or should I rewrite my code in arduino? I know if I switch to arduino it will also be faster, because right now it's painfully slow to draw screen elements on CircuitPython. But would it also help with the memory?
That's a nice display Nick. With my eyesight larger is better. As you mentioned not printing Greek, I looked at the GyverOLED lib, I see it is Greek, nice. 😁 I also noticed that there are Greek characters in the font. "GyverOLED/src/charMap.h" The reason for the issue is Arduino only support the first 128 ASCII characters. Try to print any characters ASCII 32 (0x20) to ASCII 127 (0x7F) Arduino throughs a wobbly. (Its to save memory on small devices) So should you want to create an application using Arduino to display Greek (or other language) characters (only by the way), the trick is to replace the characters 32 to 128 (up to 127 Zero based) Characters, with Greek letters, then you have to make your self a table to know which English letter represents which Greek letter. (you can only use 128 letters/symbols) These may work at the moment with this font А Б В Г Д Е Ж З И Й К Л М Н О П Р С Т У Ф Х Ц Ч Ш Щ Ъ Ы . Hope that made some sense. I could be wrong of course, I seem to remember something along those lines.
@@Educ8s So sorry Nick I was half a sleep, I have had a sleep since. It is in Russian, I apologise for the mistake. Some characters look so similar to a Yorkshire man 😊. Any ways to what I said about Arduino, I looked at the library again. GyverOLED/src/GyverOLED.h about line 955. It shifts the ASCII values about. I think there is a function to print in Russian (another language). I think if the you was to branch the GIT library and change the Russian characters for Greek Characters, you could make a Greek version.

very simply explined..thnks
Thanks for this, and all of your other videos!
You are welcome!
I think that oled power wire needs to go to 3v, I had mine set like yours and it almost burned my desk down
Working perfect! 😃

is there any way to change the pins for SDL and SDA?
Did you find the answer for this? I was looking for the same thing.

sh1106 and ssh1106 are the same right?
Hello do you have a video on using the internal temperature of the pico processor itself?
you can use the following line: float temperature = analogReadTemp();
But have in mind it is not very accurate.
Sir I need 2.5" display please share another number just like ssh1106 or ssd1306.
make same sh1106 display with circuit python pls
That's a nice display Nick.

Thank you very much Tim for your time. I will try it, it makes sence.
