New Color Display Mania!
8/15/2019 ~ Yet Another Display
In today's mail I got two 65K OLED's that use the ST7735 Library and are smaller than the one I posted yesterday which is the SSD1331 type. These are way cool and I got the two for less than $6 including shipping! (160 X 128 pixels)
Comparison to the one of yesterday. About 2/3 of the size.
Sorry for the dark photo.

Recently I discovered that there is a whole new crop of Color OLED Displays and by color I mean 65K choices. Below is a dummy display where I took the "Hello World" test program and did a bit of experimenting with how to place info on the screen and how to call up colors. Got the Splash Screen to Work -- a major breakthrough!!!!
We are a long way from having code written for use with the new transceiver; but I am excited about the possibilities. These are compact low power displays which should fit well with small low power QRP rigs. It only gets better.
Mind you the display is less that 1" inch Square. There is a lot of info on that screen including which VFO is active and the Step Tuning Rate as well as the Mode. The code will have my standard Tune Function and when engaged the USB (or LSB) will be blanked out and the word TUNE will appear on the screen.
