FantomXR Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hey people, my setup contains nine 128x64pixel OLEDs in a horizontal layout. I usually print to all of them at the same time. Now, MIOS writes to the displays character by character. So it starts with the first line on the first OLED, goes all the way to the first line of the 9th display and then starts over at the 2nd line of the first display. Since there is a lot of data, it takes time to print to the OLEDs and you really can see how the characters are printed line by line. So my question is: Is there a way to speed up that transfer rate? I googled a bit and found this on an arduino forum:https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=286837.0 Is it possible to somehow adapt this to MIDIbox? Do you have an idea? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled a bit and found this on an arduino forum:https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=286837.0 What is the solution that you retain from this? You can use bitmaps, one for each screen, first you write into it then you transfer the whole bitmap to the screen one by one( cs by cs) and maybe only the one which has changed using some flag, the problem with this is that you will use a some of the RAM, 128*64*9/8=9216 bytes(9K), maybe not bad depending on your app. Best regards Bruno Edited October 8, 2019 by Antichambre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantomXR Posted October 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well, I hope that it looks better. Now you can really watch the OLEDs build up their text. If this could be speeded up, it would be great. BTW: I send SysEx strings on the displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
