Nice display, I copied the PiicoDev code from the OLED display to make a nice little temperature plotter for the TMP115

Hi Warren,
Cheers for letting us know the PiicoDev code works here too! I’ll update the product page with this info just in case someone is wondering this in the future 
Yes I only used the code for the graph2D and updategraph2D. I had to modify it a little bit.

Hi There, I’m new to using the RPI Pico and have a small (probably silly question).
I i purchase a RPI Pico with stackable headers, would i be able to stack a motor driver like this beneath the RPI:
and then insert a display like this above?
I’m looking to operate a stepper motor repeated and use the display to output the number of cycles
Hi Charlie,
These are both designed to go on the bottom of a Pico, so I don’t think you can arrange them in the way that you want.
I would look into setting the Pico up on a breadboard with an OLED module and motor driver separate. For example here are some affordable parts we make here in Newcastle. You can move to a protoboard if you want to make it more permanent.
Note, this might need some light soldering, but that’s something well worth being comfortable in IMO.
Hi Warren, do yo have a link to the code you used? I’m having trouble getting this display working with my pi pico.
I ran the SH1107 driver code eventually got that to run without errors but nothing comes up on the screen during the demo test.

I think Warren is referring to this guide:
But I’m not sure how to adapt this to a different driver, perhaps you’ll have to dig into the PiicoDev code and pluck out the graphing bits.

Thanks James,
I might look at that one again. I initially looked at that but was getting an “unable to connect to address 0x3C” error
I’ve ordered a new pico with headers to rule out my dodgy soldering skills too.

Hey Warren,
Looks like an awesome use case for those PiicoDev products! We always love seeing what the community creates from our PiicoDev range.
@Chris261572 this could be a good guide for getting what you are after up and running, definitely worth a look at. Wish you the best to get your project working!
Cheers,
Blayden

Thanks a lot Warren,
I’ll have a go with that code tonight and see how I go.
should be a good base as my project is a small portable soil moisture sensor.
Cheers,
Chris.

You’re a good man Warren, that code worked straight away when i uploaded it, a bit of mashing sensor code (and some help from chatGPT) the sensor works great.
Cheers for the help.

Cool! Glad be able to assist!
Good luck with it.

Just adding a similar question to one of the above - I want to use this screen/button combo along with battery power over the pins. Would it be feasable for me to solder the power from battery to those solder points next to the GPIO headers? That seems to be the point of them, I just can’t see that documented. Thank you

Hi @Tristan134105 - if I’m interpreting correctly you want to solder a battery somewhere here, which is not recommended.
The earlier post in this thread features a Makerverse Nano Power Timer which has a 2-pin connector for LiPo batteries and on-board charging

I want to solder a lipo charger board. I know it probably isn’t recommended I just want to know if it woud work 
Maybe… it depends on the hardware you select.
one solution is that you could use this product
Connections for Pico ↔ Charger (pin labels)
5V ↔ 5V
GND ↔ Ground
VSYS ← Diode ← Battery
This will augment your setup with battery charging and battery backup. Use a schottky diode if possible. It will but up to you to manage the battery so that it doesn’t get over-discharged though.
The point of the diode is to prevent power flowing out of VSYS and into the battery which would result in uncontrolled charging at a high voltage.
If you’d like to discuss further, consider opening a topic for this project discussion. This thread is intended for specific questions related to the OLED product.
