Modbus - OLED 128x64 Bricklet¶

Basic Functions¶

BrickletOLED128x64.write¶

Function ID:	1
Request:	data – Type: uint8[64], Range: [0 to 255]
Response:	no response

Appends 64 byte of data to the window as set by new_window.

Each row has a height of 8 pixels which corresponds to one byte of data.

Example: if you call new_window with column from 0 to 127 and row from 0 to 7 (the whole display) each call of write (red arrow) will write half of a row.

The LSB (D0) of each data byte is at the top and the MSB (D7) is at the bottom of the row.

The next call of write will write the second half of the row and the next two the second row and so on. To fill the whole display you need to call write 16 times.

BrickletOLED128x64.new_window¶

Function ID:	2
Request:	column_from – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 127] column_to – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 127] row_from – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 7] row_to – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 7]
Response:	no response

Sets the window in which you can write with write. One row has a height of 8 pixels.

BrickletOLED128x64.clear_display¶

Function ID:	3
Request:	empty payload
Response:	no response

Clears the current content of the window as set by new_window.

BrickletOLED128x64.write_line¶

Function ID:	6
Request:	line – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 7] position – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 25] text – Type: char[26]
Response:	no response

Writes text to a specific line with a specific position. The text can have a maximum of 26 characters.

For example: (1, 10, "Hello") will write Hello in the middle of the second line of the display.

You can draw to the display with write and then add text to it afterwards.

The display uses a special 5x7 pixel charset. You can view the characters of the charset in Brick Viewer.

The font conforms to code page 437.

Advanced Functions¶

BrickletOLED128x64.set_display_configuration¶

Function ID:	4
Request:	contrast – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 143 invert – Type: bool, Default: false
Response:	no response

Sets the configuration of the display.

You can set a contrast value from 0 to 255 and you can invert the color (black/white) of the display.

BrickletOLED128x64.get_display_configuration¶

Function ID:	5
Request:	empty payload
Response:	contrast – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255], Default: 143 invert – Type: bool, Default: false

Returns the configuration as set by set_display_configuration.

BrickletOLED128x64.get_identity¶

Function ID:	255
Request:	empty payload
Response:	uid – Type: char[8] connected_uid – Type: char[8] position – Type: char, Range: ['a' to 'h', 'z'] hardware_version – Type: uint8[3] 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] firmware_version – Type: uint8[3] 0: major – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 1: minor – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] 2: revision – Type: uint8, Range: [0 to 255] device_identifier – Type: uint16, Range: [0 to 216 - 1]

Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.

The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.

The device identifier numbers can be found here.
