brewpiless not displaying ssd1306 #159

Newbie here.

I used the esp flasher tool to install BrewPiLess.v3.4r1.oled.bin. BPL works fine but I cannot get any display on the ssd1306, do I need to install a driver or something along with binary to get it to work?

Thanks for any help. Dave

Supposedly, the OLED should just work. All my OLED lcds were burned out, so I need to order a new one.

Will the classic 3.5 image work with OLED? There is no specific binary for OLED in the 3.5 binaries like the older versions,

OLED on the 3.4 binary works, but I have the date bug.

Thank you Vito!

Yep, you just need to compile it yourself @quimnut

Oh yea, it was missing from the bins folder so I was curious if it was default or something now.

I don't have working OLED on hands. Therefore, I don't know if it works or not.

Update: eventually I was able to get the old to work on 3.4, but it wasn't reliable for me. Sometimes it would work on startup but then cut out when I accessed the frontend over WiFi, sometime it wouldn't come on at all. Eventually I decided just to switch to the LCD version when Vito released 3.5. the display works well now.

Thank you for this project.
