1.27'' Oled work on pi zero ?

You want to see if this guy has any guides available, or if he will help you.
I found this a while back and I keep thinking I could make something this tiny. With no case of course 😛
-
@moosepr That was first thing I did lol. I found a tutorial of everything that guy did, software and all and it didnt work with my display. It flickered but did not display anything. If I got a 1.5'' I'm sure it could work but its just big enough to not fit in the project I'm working on the way I want to. May have to bite the bullet and just get the 1.5'' but I would hate to waste the 1.27'' display. Thank you for looking into it though, much appreciated =]

Do the 2 screens both use the same driver chip do you know?
-
@moosepr I have no idea. Oled's are a whole new ballpark for me when it comes to displays. Ill look around and see if I can find anything about that.
-
I just had a quick look and they both seem to use the SSD1351 driver, but with different resolutions.
Looking on the libtft pages, I can't seem to find a screen with that combination of driver and resolution
-
@moosepr Yeah I ran into the same problem awhile back. Is it possible they may not have one yet ? If so, I'm gonna have a good laugh. If you have any ideas for a possible replacement I'm all for it. I may start heading in that direction anyway. Also again thank you for your find, your efforts are not going over looked and I know its not a ton of work but it really helps to have a second pair of eyes looking with me. I appreciate it friend.

@thedudester80 yeah there is a little bit of a lack of the smaller screens. I did find this one on eBay, and had it in mind for a tiny console, but looking now, I don't think the driver is supported. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322123114861
The slightly larger adafruit oled screen might be the safer bet, but i know what its like trying to find something the right size, and struggling.
-
@moosepr yeah I think Ill just do that. Thanks partner. Ill be sure to post my tiny project when I get to working on it. Won't look as cool as it could but I think it will be fine.... I hope lol.

@thedudester80 $30 a go isn't really ideal though. I did a bit of googling and stumbled upon this

@moosepr Ill try it and let you know what happens. Cross fingers.

@moosepr Hey I found this recently I think it may be the answer to getting the oled screen to work.
