OLED Display Support #18

Open dhruvinsh opened 1 year ago

Hi, Thank you for your great work, and thank you keeping it opensource and providing regular updates.

Are you in the future (or currely by the user) possible to add 0.91 OLED display (128x32)?

If you are planning that is great or not then I need some advice. If you had to put where would you plan to do it? I am thinking of the gap on the both side of keyboard but angle differently so that it is easy to view.

Hey,

I'm not planning to add OLEDs to my 3d keyboards. The shield PCB used in them does have a header for I2C, with optional pull-up resistors. So you could connect your oled to that, probably using cables to extend it.

As for where to position them on the keyboard exactly - I'm not sure. You could design eg. an addon that screws into the plate and holds the oled. Another option is to use the organic tents that have holes for screw inserts on the side, to connect that addon. I explored a similar concept when designing the trackpad holder here: https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/trackpad

Feel free to update us if you end up doing some design, here or on discord, and PR it !

Thanks for your answer. I would like to keep this ticket open for now and I am definately plan to work on it to accomodate the OLED. I am just waiting to arrive them and I will give it a go for design.
