OLED Exp - How to increase text size?
-
How do I change the text size on the screen?
-
@Garling-Beard Take a look at the Understanding the Display section in the OLED C Library article, it explains how the individual pixels are addressed.
The font that is written using the
oled-expapplication or the write functions in the C Library & Python Module was actually hand-coded to fit in the 8-pixel-high rows.You can try using the
oledWriteByte()function in the C Library (or thewriteByte()function in the Python Module) to have your font take up two rows. Let me know how it goes!

Hi, I have just created a big 16x16px font renderer that makes use of writeByte to achieve the aforementioned (not with python but as a node module though):

Blimey, for a device that is supposed to be THE GREATEST IOT DEVICE EVER, what crap!
I have discovered that you can use the generic I2C OLED Displays BUT!
So there is no point paying $15 for the OLED Expansion when you can get the displays for $3
Problems...
Unable to set screen orientation and as with the official board the text is tiny and cant be made biggerEven a basic Arduino board can do better.
