Jack Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi all, I have the same Raystar like Jbdriver. On a LPC17 Core with 5V and 3.3V it is working like a charm. But on the STM32F4 (MB997D) it is not working, same issues like jarvis: Quote When I have the power at 3.3v, both displays start up fine but as soon as it loads the Seqv4 app it immediately reboots. If I start up with only 1 LCD connected at a time, the boot sequence works just fine. When I have the power at 5v, the Seqv4 app loads fine but only the left display functions correctly - the right one shows some random characters. What I have tested yet: * External power supply with 5V (Pin J2) and 3.3V (J15_S middle Pin) is not working. * Also with the 3.3V regulator from LPC17 Core it not working. - STM32F4:J2 -> LPC17:J2 - LPC17:J15_S Pin 3v3 -> STM32F4:J15_S middle Pin - STM32F4 USB and LPC17 power supply The left display is also not working 100% correctly. Some characters are wrong In my opinion it is a timing problem with the enable pins. Where can I set the "LCD type to 0x02"? In MIOS terminal this option is missing for STM32F4.

latigid on Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Enforce bootloader mode with the blue button held during startup, open MIOS Studio and set the LCD option and store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Thanks for your help. With the installed sequencer this option is still not available. Only if the bootloader alone is installed. Following steps are working for me: 1. Upload only bootloader 2. Connect the LCDs 3. Start MIOS Studio 4. Enter following into MIOS Terminal set lcd_type 0x02 store 5. Upload midibox_seq_v4_092 => Working Only issue on 5V the LCD starts stinking (not like on LPC17 Core), so I changed to 3V and everything is fine now. Except the 3V3 Regulator getting really hot.

latigid on Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yep, you're right, I got my wires crossed. The 3v vreg (+ diodes) will likely have trouble if the ambient temperature is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantomXR Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hey people, I have a problem with my OLEDs. I can get the first 8 OLEDs working without any problems. But the 9th OLED is mirrored with the 8th. I use the STM32F4 core and I used the 2nd E-line for the 9th display that is available at PC9 of the STM32F4. Do I have to enable this line in the firmware? Can't find anything about it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Did you define the max number of LCDs? I have some PCBs that provide more CS lines on simple headers if you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some PCBs that provide more CS lines on simple headers if you need. You mean in the bootloader? Yes of course! I only need one more CS. Can you tell me where to get it from? This schematic: http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_lcd_ssd1306_single_mios32.pdf says, at J28 are four CS available. But the STM-core has no J28.

FantomXR Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I found it! There are several CS lines available at J10B! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tago Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Should i get 3V or 5V (VDD) OLED displays? Which one is preferable? Edit: i assume 5V because the STM32 core outputs 5V. But i wonder if 3V can save some energy? Edited November 9, 2017 by tago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Doesn't really matter. +5V draws off the USB power buss, so less pressure on the regulator. Most OLEDs use a charge pump for higher voltage anyway; there is no energy to be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiodc Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hey, jumping in this topic with a slight necro-bump. I'm currently assembling the BOM for a new Seq v4 build and am wondering if this is the correct part for a yellow OLED that will be suitable: https://www.mouser.ca/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/O040N002ALPP5N0000?qs=sGAEpiMZZMshRHSPqbouvIwO3l5fqdBAixDXe9yjARerJD7W12iKVA%3d%3d Also, what other changes to the BOM for the rest of the kit are necessary to accommodate this - do I need to upgrade any of the power supplies or add another one, or regulation somewhere? I've read this thread twice and I'm still confused about which exact components ended up being problematic for folks and what they ended up doing to replace them. It's not easy to get parts around here and shipping to Canada from the states is always expensive so I'd really rather get my BOM right the first time if I can. Thanks for any help or advice you're willing to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Looks to be the correct one. The supply is +5V as noted a few posts above, so no changes needed to the BOM. You will have to upload the bootloader hex and change the display type though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
