[How to do instruction] 128x64 OLED with Song Status and Spectrum Display on Raspberry Pi

Hi

The mpd_oled installation instructions for Moode are here

https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/bl...L_MOODE.md

If you don't need such a big screen, a 1.3" screen can be bought very cheaply. I use this one

https://www.ebay.es/itm/1-3-White-OLED-L...1395109681

I wire it like this


If you are using a PI 1 or 2 it looks like the connections are the same, but you could check that. In the image below it looks like the I2C bus will be zero, rather than 1 like it is with the Pi Zero. mpd_oled should check buses 0 and 1, but this is untested.




If you are using the screen in your link, for mpd_oled you should connect it as I2C (not SPI). VCC is 3.3V, D0 is SCL, D1 is SDA. You may or may not need to connect the reset RST, if you do need to, indicate the GPIO you are using with "mpd_oled -r NN". The I2C address is 3D, and this needs to be passed with "mpd_oled -a 3d". The screen says it is compatible with SH1106, and so specify "mpd_oled -o 6".

Please be aware though, while it seems from the specifications like the screen in your link should work with mpd_oled, I don't have enough experience or feedback to say with any certainty that it will work (I really don't know). Also, I have no feedback about mpd_oled running on a Pi 1 or 2. However, if you choose to buy this screen, or any other, and are having trouble getting it working then I will be happy to help.

Adrian.
