Hi all,
Well I'm back from vacation, and I'm back to my OLED project...
I'm still stuck with this board and cannot pass Go!
I plan on using this carrier with the following options.
#1. 3.3v power (use booster)
#2. SPI (using a pic uP)
What I have done so far.
#1. I have attached 3.3v to the Vcc pin
#2. Attached ground to the GND pin across from the EN pin
#4. Connected BS1=ground - serial mode
#5. Connected BS2=ground - serial mode
connected the following pins...
#define SCLK PIN_C5 /* SCLK = D0 pin */
#define SDIN PIN_C4 /* SDIN = D1 pin */
#define DC PIN_A5 /* DC = D/C# pin */
#define CS PIN_C3 /* CS = CS# pin */
#define RES PIN_A4 /* RES = RES */
#define TRIGGER PIN_B7 /* used for trigger */
According to the specs, if RES=LOW, the OLED controller will be init'd, page 15 of the specs.
Soooooo, at a minimum, if I toggle the RES pin with a delay, I should at least see some power being used my meter, yes? I'm not seeing anything!
I just attached a small LED to the same power source (same breadboard) and it came up and the meter read "0.17A" @ "3.3v", stop the LED and the reading goes to "0.0" to amps.
Any thoughts?
