SSD1306 INCLUDE for PBP3

[Ioannis]

I have not found FSR1L register on 886 chip...

OK, will try with 18F2550 later and write back.

Had no chance to test it yet on PBP, connected to Arduino uno for testing and launched adafruit library demos. Adjusted some speeds and quite impressed. Should I expect same speed on PIC18F2550 or it will be significantly slower?

Can these LCD's show custom characters?

I have a request to make a display that will show chess pieces like this ♟️ -> A4.

Unfortunately character LCD do not have enough resolution with 5x7 characters so this 1306 may be a good alternative.

Yes any font can be created in fixed or variable width

[Ioannis]

OK, thanks.

Will order then a few to play with.

How are fonts or special symbols to be designed for SSD1306?

I could not figure out studying the font7x5 include files.

As I posted above I need to design some chess pieces and 5x7 is not enough space.
