# OLED Driver ## OLED Supported Hardware 128x32 OLED modules using SSD1306 driver IC over I2C. Supported on AVR based keyboards. Possible but untested hardware includes ARM based keyboards and other sized OLED modules using SSD1306 over I2C, such as 128x64. !> Warning: This OLED Driver currently uses the new i2c_master driver from split common code. If your split keyboard uses i2c to communication between sides this driver could cause an address conflict (serial is fine). Please contact your keyboard vendor and ask them to migrate to the latest split common code to fix this. ## Usage To enable the OLED feature, there are three steps. First, when compiling your keyboard, you'll need to set `OLED_DRIVER_ENABLE=yes` in `rules.mk`, e.g.: ``` OLED_DRIVER_ENABLE = yes ``` This enables the feature and the `OLED_DRIVER_ENABLE` define. Then in your `keymap.c` file, you will need to implement the user task call, e.g: ```C++ #ifdef OLED_DRIVER_ENABLE void oled_task_user(void) { // Host Keyboard Layer Status oled_write_P(PSTR("Layer: "), false); switch (biton32(layer_state)) { case _QWERTY: oled_write_P(PSTR("Default\n"), false); break; case _FN: oled_write_P(PSTR("FN\n"), false); break; case _ADJ: oled_write_P(PSTR("ADJ\n"), false); break; default: // Or use the write_ln shortcut over adding '\n' to the end of your string oled_write_ln_P(PSTR("Undefined"), false); } // Host Keyboard LED Status uint8_t led_usb_state = host_keyboard_leds(); oled_write_P(led_usb_state & (1<Requires user to implement the below defines. | |`OLED_DISPLAY_WIDTH` |`128` |The width of the OLED display. | |`OLED_DISPLAY_HEIGHT` |`32` |The height of the OLED display. | |`OLED_MATRIX_SIZE` |`512` |The local buffer size to allocate.

This feature is done in software and not free. Using this feature will increase the time to calculate what data to send over i2c to the OLED. If you are strapped for cycles, this can cause keycodes to not register. In testing however, the rendering time on an `atmega32u4` board only went from 2ms to 5ms and keycodes not registering was only noticed once we hit 15ms. 90 Degree Rotated Rendering is achieved by using bitwise operations to rotate each 8 block of memory and uses two precalculated arrays to remap buffer memory to OLED memory. The memory map defines are precalculated for remap performance and are calculated based on the OLED Height, Width, and Block Size. For example, in the 128x32 implementation with a `uint8_t` block type, we have a 64 byte block size. This gives us eight 8 byte blocks that need to be rotated and rendered. The OLED renders horizontally two 8 byte blocks before moving down a page, e.g: | | | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 0 | 1 | | | | | | 2 | 3 | | | | | | 4 | 5 | | | | | | 6 | 7 | | | | | However the local buffer is stored as if it was Height x Width display instead of Width x Height, e.g: | | | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 3 | 7 | | | | | | 2 | 6 | | | | | | 1 | 5 | | | | | | 0 | 4 | | | | | So those precalculated arrays just index the memory offsets in the order in which each one iterates its data. ## OLED API ```C++ // OLED Rotation enum values are flags typedef enum { OLED_ROTATION_0 = 0, OLED_ROTATION_90 = 1, OLED_ROTATION_180 = 2, OLED_ROTATION_270 = 3, // OLED_ROTATION_90 | OLED_ROTATION_180 } oled_rotation_t; // Initialize the OLED display, rotating the rendered output based on the define passed in. // Returns true if the OLED was initialized successfully bool oled_init(oled_rotation_t rotation); // Called at the start of oled_init, weak function overridable by the user // rotation - the value passed into oled_init // Return new oled_rotation_t if you want to override default rotation oled_rotation_t oled_init_user(oled_rotation_t rotation); // Clears the display buffer, resets cursor position to 0, and sets the buffer to dirty for rendering void oled_clear(void); // Renders the dirty chunks of the buffer to OLED display void oled_render(void); // Moves cursor to character position indicated by column and line, wraps if out of bounds // Max column denoted by 'oled_max_chars()' and max lines by 'oled_max_lines()' functions void oled_set_cursor(uint8_t col, uint8_t line); // Advances the cursor to the next page, writing ' ' if true // Wraps to the begining when out of bounds void oled_advance_page(bool clearPageRemainder); // Moves the cursor forward 1 character length // Advance page if there is not enough room for the next character // Wraps to the begining when out of bounds void oled_advance_char(void); // Writes a single character to the buffer at current cursor position // Advances the cursor while writing, inverts the pixels if true // Main handler that writes character data to the display buffer void oled_write_char(const char data, bool invert); // Writes a string to the buffer at current cursor position // Advances the cursor while writing, inverts the pixels if true void oled_write(const char *data, bool invert); // Writes a string to the buffer at current cursor position // Advances the cursor while writing, inverts the pixels if true // Advances the cursor to the next page, wiring ' ' to the remainder of the current page void oled_write_ln(const char *data, bool invert); // Writes a PROGMEM string to the buffer at current cursor position // Advances the cursor while writing, inverts the pixels if true // Remapped to call 'void oled_write(const char *data, bool invert);' on ARM void oled_write_P(const char *data, bool invert); // Writes a PROGMEM string to the buffer at current cursor position // Advances the cursor while writing, inverts the pixels if true // Advances the cursor to the next page, wiring ' ' to the remainder of the current page // Remapped to call 'void oled_write_ln(const char *data, bool invert);' on ARM void oled_write_ln_P(const char *data, bool invert); // Can be used to manually turn on the screen if it is off // Returns true if the screen was on or turns on bool oled_on(void); // Can be used to manually turn off the screen if it is on // Returns true if the screen was off or turns off bool oled_off(void); // Basically it's oled_render, but with timeout management and oled_task_user calling!
