Display never turns on #167

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

I have the board compiled with the code and I'm able to set it up, but the display never turns on. Ive made sure to use the right versions, compiled it multiple times, resoldered and unsoldered the connections, but nothing ever works. What do I do?

I know you mentioned you have the correct versions, but normally this is the one that might cause an issue with the display: "SSD1306Wire.h" --> https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-oled-ssd1306/releases/tag/4.1.0 (version 4.1.0)

Make sure you have the 4.1.0 version.

If the web interface is loaded and running, you can also try and load the compiled binary through the web interface. If you don't know the IP of your monitor, you can get it from viewing the port monitor.

What screen are you using?

If you have the 1.3", you need to uncomment a line in the settings.h as per the install guide.

I also moved #define DISPLAY_SH1106 to the top, but its in orange for some sort of reason. I moved it to the top because I think it was giving me some sort of error if i left it where it originally was. image
