Need some help setting up OLED displays [solved]

[baconjuice]

I'm upgrading my SEQ v4 with some OLED displays. I was able to get them working by changing lcd_type in the bootloader to 0x01: CLCD_DOG. However, the text is only being written on the top line. I've been trying to troubleshoot this and there is supposed to be a new lcd_type for this display in the boot loader (0x02: CLCD_PPP) but I'n not seeing that option when I run the lcd_types command. Is there a different version of the boot loader that I need?

Here is my output from MIOS Studio:

[595397.479] Initialize LCD #1

Thanks in advance for the help!

Good news everybody!

I got my OLED displays working!! The displays in question are Focus LCDs 0402A-CW-SW3, I ended up downloading the mios tools from GitHub:

https://github.com/midibox/mios32

And the mios toolchain for macOS here:

http://www.ucapps.de/mios32_c.html

And compiled the bootloader updater make file at:

./mios32/bootloader/updater

Uploading the resulting .hex file now included the lcd_type 0x02:CLCD_PP which allows the LCDs to behave properly. They were working with the lcd_type 0x01:CLCD_DOG but that configuration was not handling the line break correctly. Basically, after setting the clcd_dog option and sending the store command the "Bootloader is up to date! :-)" message was all on one line instead of split between the 2 lines. Now it works as expected.

Hopefully this helps the next brave soul that attempts this!  :D

Here is they are happy in my SEQ V4, pardon my messy desk.  XD

Thanks everyone and many thanks TK for all your awesome work!!!
