Larger fonts possible? Turn off/on display? #158

Hi there,

how can I make a font larger, is that possible? I am using SSD1306 in text-mode only. And, is there a way to turn off/on the display for power-saving?

Thanks a lot. Tobias

@tobivan Hello

Yes, it is possible. lcd_console example uses standard font 6x8, but you can use bigger fonts: ssd1306xled_font8x16 and other. And you can create your own font. Please, check the github wiki. As for the power-saving mode, you can use ssd1306_sendCommand to send any display-specific command to the display.

Best regards, Alekei
