In Topic: Time flies. Using my original Netduino with stock firmware with VS 2012 today?

02 April 2013 - 12:13 AM

You can use the beta setup for VS2012 found here : http://forums.netdui...mework-v43-sdk/

 

I upgraded the firmware of my Netduino 1 to 4.2.0.1, but it should work on the 4.1 firmware : http://forums.netdui...-v420-update-1/


In Topic: SSD1306 display issue with Gen1 board

Here is a picture of what I get on the display with the below code : http://imgur.com/mvNjzs3

 

 

public static AdaFruitSSD1306 oled = new AdaFruitSSD1306(		    chipSelect: Pins.GPIO_PIN_D10,		    reset: Pins.GPIO_PIN_D9,		    dc: Pins.GPIO_PIN_D8,		    speedKHz: 1000);public static void Main()	    {		    oled.Initialize();		    		 		    while (true)		    {			    			    DisplayText();			    Thread.Sleep(2000);		    }	    }public static void DisplayText()	    {		    oled.ClearScreen();		    int line = 1;		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "1");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "2");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "3");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "4");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "5");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "6");		    oled.DrawString(0, line++, "7");		    oled.Refresh();	    } 

 

P.S. I cut out parts of my code here not having to do with the screen display... the code is supposed to update the screen every couple seconds with a new value which is why it's in the loop.  You can ignore this as I just did this to demo the issue.

Thanks Chris.  This was an avatar in a soccer management game (I know nothing of soccer) I used to play with friends years ago, just liked it and it kind of stuck :-P

 

I actually kept working with the OLED on my netduino 2 and I'm only displaying text on it but it still periodically will shift the display up (usually 1 or two of the top lines will physically be on the bottom of the device).  Once it starts happening I have to power down the netduino 2 and power it back up multiple times before it displays correctly again.  Not too sure what's going on with it, but it's not nearly as bad with the netduino 2 compared to the netduino 1.

 

I may end up trying to run the display in I2C and see if that helps, though I'm not exactly sure how to do this yet. 

 

Any advice you may have would be great!

So I got my Netduino 2 today, upgraded to 4.3 firmware, hooked up my SSD1306 and deployed the same exact code and the screen is singing like a canary now (very nice FPS also)

 

Not sure why it doesn't like the Netduino 1 board, don't plan on trying to figure it out either, the Netduino 2 will do everything I need and then some so I'll just stick with that.
