Lolin ESP32 OLED

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

I am trying to add OLED support to the ESP3D and it just doesnt work.

I use an example file:

include "images.h"

// Initialize the OLED display using SPI // D5 -> CLK // D7 -> MOSI (DOUT) // D0 -> RES // D2 -> DC // D8 -> CS // SSD1306Spi display(D0, D2, D8); // or // SH1106Spi display(D0, D2);

// Initialize the OLED display using brzo_i2c // D3 -> SDA // D5 -> SCL // SSD1306Brzo display(0x3c, D3, D5); // or // SH1106Brzo display(0x3c, D3, D5);

// Initialize the OLED display using Wire library SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4); // SH1106 display(0x3c, D3, D5);

define DEMO_DURATION 3000

typedef void (*Demo)(void);

int demoMode = 0; int counter = 1;

void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); Serial.println(); Serial.println();

// Initialising the UI will init the display too. display.init();

display.flipScreenVertically(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10);

}

void drawFontFaceDemo() { // Font Demo1 // create more fonts at http://oleddisplay.squix.ch/ display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10); display.drawString(0, 0, "Hello world"); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16); display.drawString(0, 10, "Hello world"); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_24); display.drawString(0, 26, "Hello world"); }

void drawTextFlowDemo() { display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10); display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT); display.drawStringMaxWidth(0, 0, 128, "Lorem ipsum\n dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore." ); }

void drawTextAlignmentDemo() { // Text alignment demo display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10);

// The coordinates define the left starting point of the text display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT); display.drawString(0, 10, "Left aligned (0,10)");

// The coordinates define the center of the text display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER); display.drawString(64, 22, "Center aligned (64,22)");

// The coordinates define the right end of the text display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT); display.drawString(128, 33, "Right aligned (128,33)"); }

void drawRectDemo() { // Draw a pixel at given position for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { display.setPixel(i, i); display.setPixel(10 - i, i); } display.drawRect(12, 12, 20, 20);

// Fill the rectangle
display.fillRect(14, 14, 17, 17);

// Draw a line horizontally
display.drawHorizontalLine(0, 40, 20);

// Draw a line horizontally
display.drawVerticalLine(40, 0, 20);

}

void drawCircleDemo() { for (int i=1; i < 8; i++) { display.setColor(WHITE); display.drawCircle(32, 32, i3); if (i % 2 == 0) { display.setColor(BLACK); } display.fillCircle(96, 32, 32 - i 3); } }

void drawProgressBarDemo() { int progress = (counter / 5) % 100; // draw the progress bar display.drawProgressBar(0, 32, 120, 10, progress);

// draw the percentage as String display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER); display.drawString(64, 15, String(progress) + "%"); }

void drawImageDemo() { // see http://blog.squix.org/2015/05/esp8266-nodemcu-how-to-create-xbm.html // on how to create xbm files display.drawXbm(34, 14, WiFi_Logo_width, WiFi_Logo_height, WiFi_Logo_bits); }

Demo demos[] = {drawFontFaceDemo, drawTextFlowDemo, drawTextAlignmentDemo, drawRectDemo, drawCircleDemo, drawProgressBarDemo, drawImageDemo}; int demoLength = (sizeof(demos) / sizeof(Demo)); long timeSinceLastModeSwitch = 0;

void loop() { // clear the display display.clear(); // draw the current demo method demos[demoMode]();

display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT); display.drawString(10, 128, String(millis())); // write the buffer to the display display.display();

if (millis() - timeSinceLastModeSwitch > DEMO_DURATION) { demoMode = (demoMode + 1) % demoLength; timeSinceLastModeSwitch = millis(); } counter++; delay(10); }

And with the example file the OLED on the lolin works.

I add those lines in the ESP3D.ino file:

include "SSD1306.h"

include "Wire.h"

SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4);

And in void setup: (just to test if it works I add those lines)

display.init(); display.clear();
display.flipScreenVertically(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10); display.drawString(0, 0, "Hello world");

the code compile successfully but there is nothing shown in the display.

Is there anywhere in your code that you are using pins 4 & 5? is there anything in your code that can affect the OLED function?

by the way I have added those lines also in the void loop: but still the OLED display doesnt show anything.

I am lost...

Not using 5,4 pins in this github so it should not be the root cause I just played with sample code using 2 differents display but did not integrated in ESP3D code yet - will start next week in theory Did you tried to run a sample code just using functions you mentioned you added to see if it is working out of the official sample ?

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

With the sample code it works, When I try to integrate with your code the display stay off.

[luc-github]

I read sample works My question was : Do

#include "SSD1306.h"
#include "Wire.h"
SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4);

void setup() {

display.init();
display.clear();
display.flipScreenVertically();
display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_10);
display.drawString(0, 0, "Hello world");
}

void loop() {
}

works alone ?

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

I have found the problem, I had to add this function "display.display();"

display.init(); display.clear();

display.flipScreenVertically(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_24); display.drawString(0, 0, "Hello world"); display.display();

This works.

[shaddow501]

Can you tell me where is the functions that print IP to the serial exist? so I can add this to print also on the display?

[luc-github]

https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/blob/13ee5e19e834fbfebd8652d5ee08e73d3b06eefd/esp3d/wificonf.cpp#L408-L409 for first one in command.cpp for [ESP111] command.

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

I have added the:

include "SSD1306.h"

and: SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4);

in the ESP3D.ino file.

In the void setup I added the: display.init(); display.clear();

display.flipScreenVertically(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16);

If I set something to print(OLED) on the loop or setup it works. But when I add the command in wificonf.cpp display.drawString(0, 10, ... (doesnt important)

it says that "display" is not defined in this scope. How? I did define all in the main ESP3D.ino, so whats wrong??

[luc-github]

Each cpp is compiled individualy and so need to have all global variable information before linker do its job. To succeed, you must add oled header or forward declaration of the SSD1306 class , and declare display variable as extern.

This is basic programming thing - you can find lot of information on google : https://www.google.fr/search?q=share+variable+in+several+file+arduino

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

1. In the esped.ino I have added "oled.h" file in the oled.h file I added 2 lines:

   include "SSD1306.h"

   SSD1306 display(0x3c, 5, 4);

2. In the wificonf.cpp I have added:

   include "SSD1306.h"

   extern SSD1306 display;

3. //Get IP if (WiFi.getMode()==WIFI_STA) { currentIP=WiFi.localIP(); currentIP_string=WiFi.localIP().toString(); } else { currentIP=WiFi.softAPIP(); currentIP_string=WiFi.softAPIP().toString(); } ESP_SERIALOUT.print(FPSTR(M117)); ESP_SERIAL_OUT.println(currentIP); display.clear(); display.flipScreenVertically(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16); display.drawString(0, 3, "ESP3D IP:"); display.drawString(0, 20, String (currentIP_string)); display.setTextAlignment(TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT); // write the buffer to the display display.display();

After that I get the IP address correctly on the OLED display.

Where can I find the place that it show the wifi signal?

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

I have encounter with resets on ESP32 I have found a solution in here:

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/863

include "soc/soc.h"

include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"

void setup(){ WRITE_PERI_REG(RTC_CNTL_BROWN_OUT_REG, 0); //disable brownout detector

it seems to solve the problem.

[luc-github]

@shaddow501 You can find location in the code - but I do not think it would be a good approach as information are displayed at start or on request which make no sense for screen that need to be permanently updated

I have studied the oled API and prepared some test sketch for rendering, screen refresh, etc.. if you want to have a look : testoled.zip

The functions I use and wrote do not use delay / yield as oled must be compatible with async webserver, I plan to add an update screen function which will be in main loop and update screen every 1 sec as minimum trigger to not overload esp

It should cover all needs for the ESP - may be need to define a boot splash screen - and may be add a clock when SPIFFS will support time

About reset : I never had such issue, which confirm it is an HW issue as mentioned in thread you shared, it could be added using flag, but it should not be enabled by default IMHO

[shaddow501]

Dear Luc

At the moment the module is stable and running good.

The screen show my printer name , SSID and IP.

I don’t think that there is anymore room to add anything else in the screen.

By the way I don’t think that it is important to update the screen every second, I think that the display should be updated with new info only if IP or SSID changes.

[shaddow501]

I did modify those sections:

//this is AP mode if (bmode==AP_MODE) { LOG("Set AP mode\r\n") if(!CONFIG::read_string(EP_AP_SSID, sbuf, MAX_SSID_LENGTH)) { return false; } if(!CONFIG::read_string(EP_AP_PASSWORD, pwd, MAX_PASSWORD_LENGTH)) { return false; } ESP_SERIALOUT.print(FPSTR(M117)); ESP_SERIAL_OUT.print(F("SSID ")); ESP_SERIAL_OUT.println(sbuf); display.clear(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16); display.setColor(WHITE); display.drawString(0, 0, "AnyCubic 3D"); display.drawString(0, 22, "SSID: " + String(sbuf)); display.display();

} else { LOG("Set STA mode\r\n") if(!CONFIG::read_string(EP_STA_SSID, sbuf, MAX_SSID_LENGTH)) { return false; } if(!CONFIG::read_string(EP_STA_PASSWORD, pwd, MAX_PASSWORD_LENGTH)) { return false; } ESP_SERIALOUT.print(FPSTR(M117)); ESP_SERIAL_OUT.print(F("SSID ")); ESP_SERIAL_OUT.println(sbuf); display.clear(); display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16); display.setColor(WHITE); display.drawString(0, 0, "AnyCubic 3D"); display.drawString(0, 22, "SSID: " + String(sbuf)); display.display(); LOG("SSID ") LOG(sbuf) LOG("\r\n") if (!CONFIG::read_byte(EP_STA_IP_MODE, &bflag )) { return false; }

//Get IP
if (WiFi.getMode()==WIFI_STA) {
    currentIP=WiFi.localIP();
    currentIP_string=WiFi.localIP().toString();
} else {
    currentIP=WiFi.softAPIP();
    currentIP_string=WiFi.softAPIP().toString();
}
ESP_SERIAL_OUT.print(FPSTR(M117_));
ESP_SERIAL_OUT.println(currentIP);
 display.setFont(ArialMT_Plain_16);
 display.setColor(BLACK);
 display.drawString(0, 45, "IP:" + String (currentIP_string_old));
 display.display();
 display.setColor(WHITE);
display.drawString(0, 45, "IP:" + String (currentIP_string));
display.display();
currentIP_string = currentIP_string_old; 

ESP_SERIAL_OUT.flush();
return true;

}

I added OLed and 5 way tactile button support for ESP32 and use the second core to run the display task. This way the animations are fluently and you can leave the brownout (watchdog) active.

in esp3d.ino in setup I add

initOled(); xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(esp3dTask, "loop1", 4096, (void *) 1, 1, NULL, 1); xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(oledTask, "loop1", 4096, (void *) 1, 1, NULL, 0);

I moved the complete loop to a task:

` void esp3dTask(void *pvParameters) { int taskno = (int) pvParameters; int sleeptime;

while (1) {
    //be sure wifi is on to proceed wifi function
    if (WiFi.getMode() != WIFI_OFF) {

ifdef CAPTIVE_PORTAL_FEATURE

        if (WiFi.getMode() != WIFI_STA) {
            dnsServer.processNextRequest();
        }

endif

        //web requests
        web_interface->web_server.handleClient();

ifdef TCP_IP_DATA_FEATURE

        BRIDGE::processFromTCP2Serial();

endif

    }
    BRIDGE::processFromSerial2TCP();
    //in case of restart requested
    if (web_interface->restartmodule) {
        CONFIG::esp_restart();
    }
    vTaskDelay(1);
}

} `

and left the loop with only:

//main loop void loop() { //do nothing here vTaskDelay(portMAX_DELAY); // wait as much as posible ... }

in Oled.cpp I have the implementation:

`
