is anyone successfully using i2c OLED / LCD?

giuliomoro
well.. dunno?
with the risk of being pedantic
is the "http://bela.io/" supposed to be in the RestartSec line?

and

giuliomoro journalcltl

still has an L too many.

giuliomoro can't even get the emoji to work .

LOL

looks super now.
but seriously, can you pin post 84 somewhere?
add it to the Wiki maybe? i know i'll be looking for this in the future..

giuliomoro yeah wow, im at testing stage and im not sure where im going wrong, likely something very basic in the syntax in SC but i setup a simple osc path but no results...
''s.boot
~displayOSC = NetAddr.new("192.168.7.1", 7562);
~displayOSC.sendMsg('bela.local:7562', "magic!"); "
ultimately aiming to send different plot values/waveshapes

please use backticks ( ``` ) and not ' to enclose your code

vivian if i were to try and plot this line to oled

The currently supported functions are the ones above and they show the few types of prints you can get currently. U assume they display some basic text only, but I don't have a working display at hand, did you try them out? To obtain anything other than that, you'll need to write some custom C++ code. The available graphics functions are here https://github.com/giuliomoro/OSC2OLED4Bela/blob/master/SSD1306_OLED.h#L151-L165

Looking at the names there, you'd probably to use drawPixel(). I don't actually know how to handle bundles in OSC neither from the Sc side or the C side, so I'll assume for simplicity that you are sending some float values and you want to show those, but there is definitely room for improvements!

For instance, I expect that if you add this to the body of int parseMessage(oscpkt::Message msg, void* arg):

	oscpkt::Message::ArgReader args = msg.match("/values");
    if(args)
    {
		const unsigned int nValues = args.nbArgRemaining();
    	float values[nValues];
    	for(unsigned int n = 0; n < nValues; ++n)
    	{
    		if(args.isFloat())
    		{
	    		args.popFloat(values[n]);
    		} else if(args.isInt32()) {
    			int i;
    			args.popInt32(i);
    			values[n] = i;
    		} else {
    			fprintf(stderr, "Wrong type at argument %d\n", n);
    			return -1;
    		}
    	}
    	// now tenValues contains the 10 values.
        // prepare a bitmap:
        printf("received: ");
        for(unsigned int n = 0; n < 10; ++n)
        	printf("%f ", values[n]);
        printf("\n");
        clearDisplay();
        for(unsigned int x = 0; x < SSD1306_LCDWIDTH; ++x)
        {
        	// we interpret each value as the vertical displacement and
        	// we want to draw a series of horizontal lines at the specified points
        	unsigned int valIdx = x * float(nValues) / SSD1306_LCDWIDTH;
        	unsigned int y = values[valIdx] * SSD1306_LCDHEIGHT;
        	drawPixel(x, y, WHITE);
        }
        Display();
    }

then you can send

~displayOSC.sendMsg('/values', 0, 0.1);

or

~displayOSC.sendMsg('/values', 0, 0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9);

to display n horizontal bars which are placed left-to-right at a relative vertical positiony, as specified by each of the float arguments (range 0 - 1). If you pass as many arguments as the number of horizontal pixels in the display ( typically 128), then each bar will be one pixel wide. There must be a better way of doing this from Sc than specifying the numbers as comma-separated values and probably using OSC bundles it would be a better idea.

vivian do i use .asString to speak to OSC or .asRawOSC?

no idea, sorry.

vivian Window.closeAll;
w = Window ("gui", Rect(20,20,150,30))
.front
.alwaysOnTop(true);
~sliderx = Slider(w, Rect(20,20,150,30))
~sliderx.action({
arg obj;
w.view.background_(Color.black);
obj.value.postln;
});

I am not sure what this does, but it would seem it's trying to create a slider in a GUI? There's no easy way to have the Sc GUI mirrored on the OLED display. You'll have to send dedicated commands which are parsed by the C++ file and sent to the display.
