Hi Demek

mpd_oled only supports displays using the sh1106 and ssd1306 chips. Unfortunately your new larger display uses the ssd1309 chip, and so will not work with mpd_oled.

EDIT 27/06/19: it seems the SSD1309 chip is compatible with SSD1306 and so may work with mpd_oled. A display with this chip has been reported as working with mpd_oled (see below).

Hi mbarranco

Thanks for sharing your changes.

I hope to have some time to add more features to mpd_oled in the Autumn, and I have made a note to consider adding a numeric display of the volume.

Hi. I got it to work with this 2.42 inches 128x64 i2c oled display. Very nice. Good work adrii.

Hi remy, how you get this display works with mpd_oled? It ssd1309 but adrii say that display supports chips sh1106 and ssd1306.

Hi lv1983

mpd_oled uses a driver library that supports SSD1306 and SH1106. Looking at remy1961's display it says it is compatible with SSD1306, so maybe Demek's display can also work,

@demek, if you want to post details of how your display is connected and the command you are using to run mpd_oled then maybe it will be possible to track down the issue.

I ordered remy1961's display. Will test when it arrive.

Hi

I think it may be my poor soldering skills and soldering and desoldering elements many times.
Finally I ordered display from wide.hk. There was a problem with PayPal so I was waiting around two weeks for shipping, but when they ship it arrived in four business days to Poland. I was shocked. Fastest free shipping ever.
