Flexible Greyscale OLED

Hi, picked up one of these flexible OLED kits from sparkfun. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14606

All seems to be working fine for displaying content but any kind of scrolling text seems broken. Is this just a problem with the library or SSD1320 chip?

I checked the library notes and code for the scrolling functions, it does state that the scrollLeft behaves unusually. It also states that scrollRight doesn’t work which I have verified. scrollUp does nothing either, which is not mentioned in the library.

I’m not opposed to writing my own driver to control scrolling but the SSD1320 is very poorly documented so it’s a bit of a crapshoot.

When you attempt to scroll anything (as part of setup or part of the main loop) it moves around 2-3 pixels before corrupting the display/memory.

Is there something I’m missing about the implementation?

Thanks

Would it be possible for you to [post an issue in the github repo about this? That will be seen by the libraries author and they can have a look.](Issues · sparkfun/SparkFun_SSD1320_OLED_Arduino_Library · GitHub)

Hi mreznik

Could you find out a solution? Trying to get the scroll function to work as well?

Best, Nino
