Testing Arducart with BIG ICStation 2.42" OLED Screen

- Just a quick video showing off how awesome Arduboy games look on a green 2.42" OLED screen. Thanks ICStation for generously providing me the review sample so I could upgrade my Arducart project with a jumbo screen instead of the tiny 0.9" one I was testing with. Super happy with how bright, uniform and clear the screen is. I'll definitely use these in future projects that need to display information.

Looks amazing with the bigger screen too!
Love these small OLEDs! Especially the green colour you got reminds me of the old CRTs! What an age to be living in!
The amber oleds also look very reminiscent of crts!
I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much!
No problem!
beautiful screen
that green screen remember those 80' office calculetors, yeah a GBA style it would look really nice! in a rectangular and monimalistic case, everything sandwich together
A graphing calculator would be a neat project for this display...
Thanks for your published awesome video. :)
the sharpness on that screen is so sharp it could cut your eyes out damn.
Very sharp indeed. I absolutely love these oled screens.
You can connect an arduino on to vga too!
very high refresh rate it seems. What is the library being used and do you know how it does it? SPI with DMA? Nice video!
The games use the Arduboy library which is open source so it'd be easy to check. My guess is the user writes image data to a shadow buffer and an interrupt driven hardware spi handles writing to the display. I don't think the tiny atmega328p has dma. Refresh rate seems somewhere around 60 fps (probably depends on game programming and complexity).
Can't wait to see it turned into a portable !
yeah.. me too....
Hi I'd really like to learn how you built your arduboy so I can do it myself, do you have a tutorial series on how you did that?
I have an upcoming arduboy project where I'll go into some more detail and post files so look forward to it!
looks cool, realy wish they had a SSD1351 in that size
Now I want to build an Arduboy clone in the style of the old Coleco tabletop arcade games. This screen would be perfect for that.
Yes that would be awesome!
how do i get my hands on an Arducart?? looks awesome
I ordered 10 prototypes to play around with. I have a few left if you are interested I'd sell you one for the cost of materials and shipping. Shoot me an email at sjm4306@gmail.com
That screen is exactly what i am looking for! Is it sunlight readable atleast 80% visible? Thanks for this video man!
In direct sunlight it washes out even at full brightness, you have to cup your hand over it to have a chance of reading what's displayed. Emissive displays aren't really meant for outdoor viewing, a reflective or transflective display is a better choice for those applications.
Have try to use microled display which is available today or, from itri, jbd, plessey and so on.
I haven't had the chance, but it looks very interesting so I hope I'll be able to once they become more commercially available.
i was about to order these in yellow but a few people told me they had issues with the yellow ones, have you tried any other color but the green
I have different sized oleds in pretty much every color. The yellow ones haven't given me any issues.
Just got a display similar to this after being inspired by your video; however, my 2.42in screen uses an SSD1305 instead. Would arduboy files still need to be patched prior to uploading?
Arduboy precompiled game hex files can only be patched for ssd1309 screens. If you have the source code for each game then you can select different screens using the breadboard arduboy library and recompile, however only specific display drivers are supported (not sure if the 1305 is among those).
@@sjm4306 ok. Thanks for your response - love your channel!
Can you show us the code you used to make it compatible with the IC Station Screen please.
github.com/MrBlinky/Arduboy-Python-Utilities
This is a python utility I used to modify and flash a precompiled game to work with the sd1309 screen shown in this video. It will take .arduboy or .hex files.
sjm4306 cool thanks
cool
Is it possible to have a even bigger screen?
On the arduboy forums someone developed an fpga based vga adapter so the sky is the limit.
How the heck did you get this dispay working, what library do u use.. i cant get min working :(
It works well with U8g2 lib.. ! SPI.. pin 11 and 13 on arduino nano
Yep u8g2 is a good library for a range of displays. For this video I used an arduboy clone so the graphics are handled by their own library. I've also written my own graphics library recently and it supports four oled and two eink display drivers.
@@sjm4306 nice... im so happy got it working its a reeeally cool display gives that retro look as you said :) suits my retro shortwave radio :)
Isn't the protective plastic film still on?
Yep, I always leave the film on until I install it into whatever project I intend to use it on.
@@sjm4306 Would you say there is a difference in appearance, taking it off vs leaving it on?
It's a bit clearer without the protective film
@@sjm4306 Ah! So that is why it looks like shit! JK :D Lookin' good!
Arducart is the MCU board you are using?
Yes, it's a board I designed based off the arduboy platform that uses the atmega32u4 with an additional spi flash memory chip to load games from.
@@sjm4306 nice! do you sell them, any link were I can find more info? I see now you have more videos about it but the actual documentation
Huh, looks like I never created a project on my HAD io page! I've gone and done that now and added the design files here: hackaday.io/project/189514-ardupak-formerly-arducart
Enjoy!
@@sjm4306 cool thanks for sharing!
omg take off the plastic protector!
i want this, for my pc stats
That'd be cool! I think I've seen people use alphanumeric lcds for that, I can imagine using a nice graphical oled like this with a custom gui would look very futuristic.
maybe interesting or something like that
Dude, I need an email address I can private message you on...
I dunno how to on youtube
sure, just hit me up here: sjm4306@gmail.com
