It's working! chipKIT Max32 with added IO Sheild

23 Mar 2012

After much head scratching and lot of google'ing I finally got the OLED screen on the chipKIT IO Shield to turn on. Here's the proof:

Please join me in the most triumphant achievement. I think I deserve a cuppa and a biscuit(if I can find some).

Hopefully, I'll post a more in depth review on this great piece of kit in the next few 'bits' of time.

All the best

Very nice! How does the OLED connect to the PIC32?

You're motivating me to figure out something worthy to do with my MAX32 (Microchip was handing them out like candy during Maker Faire year ).

Cheers,
Drew

It is like a shield. Max32 is a souped up arduino clone so it is shield compatible.

Yeah, I was thinking more about protocol, and I've since looked up the product info: it's a SPI OLED. I dig how crisp those tiny little OLED displays look.

Yes, I just now realized that you might be after that. Maybe PatKelly can be encouraged to share any links, code examples, how-to, and such that he may have since it did seem to amount to a substantial hurdle. I would really appreciate that since I have those same devices.

I'll try and keep my blog updated with as much information as possible as I continue to work with the Max32 and IO sheild. I'll add the code shortly. I've also got my hands on the network shield too butI'll leave that in the box until I'll mastered the IO.
