The gist of my issue is in the title. I have a cheap ebay SSD1306 128x64 display which I hooked up to my arduino, and checked the wiring at least 50 times and the address is correct, the display has the jumper set to 0x78 and the arduino (Nano with ATmega168) sees it on an i2c scanner as 0x3C which is expected.
Now I installed Adafruit's SSD1306 and GFX libraries and an OLED i2c library I found somewhere (can't find it, sorry. In the IDE it's called OLED_I2C) and ran both example codes (shortened Adafruit's to fit on a 168) and I can't get it to show anything. I've tried many things including trying the 128x32 code with no luck, not even missing every other line. I think the display works since it shows up in the scanner, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks in advance
My shortened Adafruit code:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width, in pixels
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height, in pixels
// Declaration for an SSD1306 display connected to I2C (SDA, SCL pins)
#define OLED_RESET 4 // Reset pin # (or -1 if sharing Arduino reset pin)
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC = generate display voltage from 3.3V internally
if(!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3D)) { // Address 0x3D for 128x64
Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed"));
for(;;); // Don't proceed, loop forever
}
// Show initial display buffer contents on the screen --
// the library initializes this with an Adafruit splash screen.
display.display();
delay(2000); // Pause for 2 seconds
// Clear the buffer
display.clearDisplay();
// Draw a single pixel in white
display.drawPixel(10, 10, SSD1306_WHITE);
// Show the display buffer on the screen. You MUST call display() after
// drawing commands to make them visible on screen!
display.display();
delay(2000);
// display.display() is NOT necessary after every single drawing command,
// unless that's what you want...rather, you can batch up a bunch of
// drawing operations and then update the screen all at once by calling
// display.display(). These examples demonstrate both approaches...
testdrawline(); // Draw many lines
testdrawrect(); // Draw rectangles (outlines)
}
void loop() {
}
void testdrawline() {
int16_t i;
display.clearDisplay(); // Clear display buffer
for(i=0; i<display.width(); i+=4) {
display.drawLine(0, 0, i, display.height()-1, SSD1306_WHITE);
display.display(); // Update screen with each newly-drawn line
delay(1);
}
for(i=0; i<display.height(); i+=4) {
display.drawLine(0, 0, display.width()-1, i, SSD1306_WHITE);
display.display();
delay(1);
}
delay(250);
display.clearDisplay();
for(i=0; i<display.width(); i+=4) {
