Works with (some) bundled software

Works. Given my experience with other devices in this category, this is an improvement. Contains software libraries, examples and some documentation (which I didn't follow closely). I connected it directly to the Yun by matching the pin names (SCL, SCA, GND, 3.3V) and using the software listed on this page. I did NOT install their GFX library. Everything on my system (unfortunately your mileage may vary) works fine. A small problem: The swap() function is not defined in the SSD1306 software. Cheap hack: #define swap(xA,yA) { int16_t tmp=yA; yA = xA; xA = tmp; }. Using their GFX library broke it even after fixing some programming issues so I removed it. I put it in the MyDocuments/ardunio/library folder instead of the ProgramFiles directory so it was easy to remove. He's back to work. I'm assuming the yellow at the top and the blue for the rest of the screen is a feature, not a bug. It says it's monochromatic, so it seems like a logical and nice feature.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Weak set
