Works with standard SSD1306 driver! - Tips to avoid disappointment

I had a lot of trouble getting this to work with the Micropython SSD driver. The screen just stayed black even though i2c.scan recognized the device ID 0x3c. I assumed that the SSD1315 was not compatible with the SSD1306 initialization code (read on - it's not!). I finally gave up and went for a smaller display based on the SSD1306. When I finally got the ssd1306 working I switched back to this display and it worked using the exact same code! Simple, practical, beautifully bright display. The yellow on the top 8 pixels is a little hard to read. Spring. I'll get more of these, I like them. Simple script that works: import Pin, I2C from ssd1306 from machine import SSD1306_I2Cdisplay = SSD1306_I2C(width=128, height=64, i2c=I2C(1, freq=100_000), addr=0x3C, external_vcc=False)display.init_display( ) display.contrast(255)display.poweron()display.text("Hello World", 0,0,1)display.show()
