Fantastic work. Your video dropped heaven-sent since I am working on a small project based on your rotating cube video and it reinforced some concepts on the u8g2 library. Thanks
Perfect, that’s great that the timing worked out nicely. Good luck with your project and please feel free to share your creations, I would love to see it.
Thanks man, I've been doing almost every step which you showed in this video manually since I've saw your first video with Turbo Gauge. This is verry nice tutorial for automating this conversions. Also it's worth to mention, that u8g2 lib works for almost every 128x64 screen and solves problems with sudden freeze on cheaper one models, thats probably why you've done this tutorial as I can guess ;) Verry nice work, can't wait when you connect it to MCP2515 and show some real data on this littile cuties 😎🤞
Thank you for your nice comment, Wojciech! I´m gald it was helpful, and to answer your question, yes, I would like to show some real data soon :) Good luck with your project. Is there something you can share with the world?
Amazing Video. Great description of the page mode. Small remark: LCDs are slower because of the SW I2C mode used in the video. HW I2C mode is much faster and is also possible with the LCDs.
Thank you for your nice comment and clarifying the slowness. I didn´t think that SW vs HW I2C would make such a difference, but I will surely try it with HW I2C to see the full potential. One question - do you know why you have to specifically set the I2C address for those particular LCDs, and not for other? Thank you!
@@upir_upir U8g2 defaults to the lowest I2C address allowed by display controller. Usually multiple I2C are possible with the display controller. Often the I2C address can be configured on the display PCB. Nevertheless the display manufacturer sometimes decides to use a different I2C address as a default configuration. In this case you either need to resolder a solder bridge on the PCB or provide the correct I2C address to U8g2.

Hi! great videos, they are really cool. I would like to use the circular gauge that you use for mph and rpm. I saw in one of your earlier videos that it can be animated, showing the progress, but did not find code for that. Do you have it, or any resource i can check in how to do that? Thanks!
Hello, I have a question, were you able to connect an ODB2 adapter via bluetooth to get this information from the ECU? If you can give me some tips, thanks!
Could you be more specific? What flickering? The flickering that might be visible on the video is only due to camera synchronization, and it’s not visible in real life.
I am a bit lost, may be you can help me? I tried to adapt procedure for getting the arduino code with image2cpp. The OLED only shows crazy stuff as you have showed at 5:34, is there a way to avoid such mess up upfront?
For U8G2 library, you cannot generate images using image2cpp, since it does not suport the XBM format (yet). You need to use other tools, like the mentioned LCD Image converter or Image Magick. Hope it makes sense. I also hope that someone will update image2cpp to support XBM format.
@@upir_upir thank you for your fast reply :). I did found (through the deeps of arduino forum and the internet) a way around as you described. Create a .jpg file of Photopea load it into gimp and export it as GLIP Pixmap and paste the code into sketch.
Sure, that should be possible, but it will definitely take some time. That said, I do have that lilygo board and I would like to do some project with it.
What a bummer that they changed the bit order as well as made the image interpretation inverted. Are there no flags to tell the library to be backwards compatible?
@@upir_upir I just checked the library sources. To me it looks like a backward compatibility could be easily introduced in the function u8g2_DrawHXBM in u8g2_bitmap.c, but this is obviously something to discuss with the library's author.
Can you check the initialization routines of those libraries if those are the same? Or a better question, is there a reason to stick with the U8g instead of the newer u8g2?
@@upir_upir no reason to stick with the old library, I just want to find the reason it doesn't work to be a better engineer. It's not in the initialisation routine. It's a hit or miss, some displays work fine others don't depending on the manufacturer
@haideralikhan5947 are you 100% sure it’s SSD1306? Sometimes the sellers lists those but in fact it’s a different chip - like the SSD1309 or Sh1106. If it’s IIC version, try putting pull-up resistors for data and clock, some modules have those and some don’t. The safest option is to of course buy modules from known brands like Adafruit or Pimoroni, but obviously they are more expensive. Hope this was at least a little bit helpful.
@@upir_upir absolutely right, I have put 2 pull-up resistor and the screen doesn't freeze anymore. Cannot I never thought about that. - option 1: keep using the old library which consumes less memory and is also a bit faster. Add 2 more resistors increasing cost. -option 2: use the new library that has loads of new features, doesn't need pull up resistors it's just a bit slower. I am definitely going to choose the second option. Thanks a lot for the help, the pull-up resistor were a really nice shout
@haideralikhan5947 cool, I’m glad it was helpful. I still don’t quite understand why the newer version of the library works and the older one don’t. Perhaps they default to different speed?
With this particular sketch, the memory usage is as follows, so the older library is slightly smaller. U8G (older): Sketch uses 27662 bytes (85%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes. Global variables use 463 bytes (22%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1585 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes. U8G2 (newer): Sketch uses 31318 bytes (97%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes. Global variables use 869 bytes (42%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1179 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Yes, that´s possible. The easiest path would be a dedicated Arduino shield, I know that for example DFRobot makes one, but I´m sure other brands have shields as well. I do plan to record a dedicated video about how to do that soon.
