      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.

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

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