So here's basic code for the Micro:bit for handling a SH1106 display, just in case anybody needs it:
import microbit
class SH1106:
move = bytearray(b'\x00\xb0\x02\x10')
def __init__(self):
self.buffer = bytearray(1024)
microbit.i2c.init(freq=400000, scl=microbit.pin2, sda=microbit.pin1)
for i in range(2):
# First two transaction after init always fail.
try:
microbit.i2c.write(0x3c, b'')
except OSError:
pass
microbit.i2c.write(0x3c, b'\x00\xae\xd5\x80\xa8\x3f\xd3\x00\x40\x80\x14'
b'\x20\x00\xa1\xc0\xa0\xda\x12\x81\xcf\xd9\xf1\xdb\x40\xa4\xa6\xaf')
def show(self):
index = 0
buf = self.buffer
for page in range(8):
self.move[1] = 0xb0 | page
microbit.i2c.write(0x3c, self.move)
microbit.i2c.write(0x3c, b'\x40' + buf[index:index + 128])
index += 128
def pixel(self, x, y, color=None):
if not 0 <= x < 128 or not 0 <= y < 64:
return
page = y // 8
index = x + page * 128
mask = 1 << (y % 8)
if color is None:
return bool(self.buffer[index] & mask)
elif color:
self.buffer[index] |= mask
else:
self.buffer[index] &= ~mask
This is the naive approach of updating the whole screen every time. It's probably fast enough for most use cases.
