    It looks nice, I've give it a try in a couple of days. I have been using the old version that had a prop directly controlling the OLED but they discontinued it due to poor sales.

    Yeah, it is a pretty cool little display. It has remarkably clear text for being so small.

    Hello Ravenkallen,

    I'm trying out your driver & seems to have problem with the LED.dec(data) function.
      'Debug
  k := 100
  LED.placestring(0, 0, (string("The value is: ")), 14)
  LED.Dec(k)

    The string "The value is: " appears on the uOLED but not the k value. Is there a mistaken on my part?

    Thanks.

    Depending on your baud rate, you will need to add a short delay between any commands. At 115_200 bps, i use a delay of 30- 100 milliseconds. It is kind of annoying, but what can you do? I will add a comment about it in the next update of the driver...

    Thanks Ravenkallen. Yes, baud rate is at 115_200. The delay would get in the way of what I'm wanting to display. I've moved onto to coding on 4DGL & using it to listen to Prop instead.

    Yeah, the OLED isn't perfect, but it is still really cool!!

    Yes, I agree 100%. That's why I've propose to my company to purchase 25pcs for our current project :)

    In case anyone is interested, i have updated the driver and it now includes a nifty erase single character function. You can read more about it in the object...I have included these changes in the demo to.
