I NEED HELP with a ESP8266 board WITH AN OLED BUILT IN
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2024 2:40 am
Hello everyone, i know this forum is exclusive for the esp32 but since no more post can be made in the esp8266 that brought me here, i bought an ESP8266 board recently in aliexpress i´ll attach the link below (its in spanish but it basically says NodeMCU-developement board ESP8266 with integrated OLED 0,96 inches, driver module CH340 for programming in Arduino IDE/Micropython), with an integrated YELLOW and BLUE oled
well here´s the thing when i pluged it in everything is fine, the oled turns on and show the message you see in the aliexpress picture showing the OLED screen pins, then i flashed it with the DAUTHER BIN code with a NODEMCU firmaware programer, then what happened was that i only saw the hello world fragment of the screen, and stayed in that state, i couldnt see the menu i was supposed to see (later i realised that code was for generic ESP8266 board conected with a oled screen NOT built in, i dont think that could damage the oled screen or the board itself)
well then i got desperate trying to see what i could do i just unpluged the device, and the oled screen went to sleep, wont even show the factory message, later i found out i could used it with the arduino IDE, i set my arduino IDE to compile ESP8266 code and i downloaded all the esp8266 OLED libraries and i tried the OLED code examples (like of 100 codes and models) and nothing seems to get the OLED display show anything (and yes i set the ssddisplay() (and some others) function with my particular esp8266 board SDA and SCL pins that you see in the advertisement picture but in vain)
good news is that i tried the builtin led code and it works perfectly, so i dont think the board is damaged, after a crazy research marathon i could not find anything but headaches, tried different codes, different libraries, wrote in the google engine "esp8266 built in oled" in a millions of ways to find my particular board but it seems that the one i own is SO PARTICULAR that nobody has made content on it, and im just a newbie in this subject
so im asking for your help on how to make the oled screen turn on again with an arduino code (or bin), to help me know what im doing and done wrong, if i need to install something else, or if you know a community that has made codes for THIS ONE OF KIND BOARD, i will be very thankful with you
Regards
