    Are you sure you can control the intermediate pixel? Wow this is impressive!

    Yes in graphic mode it is possible. Even now with this one I can control it, just there is no physical pixel

    Here is the picture. Too bad, they are not making standard LCD's with that WS0010 controller, it would be mega practical

    I have an interesting idea. These displays as you know, are PWM driven. The PWM signal can be easily obtained from the back of the module. What if we use it as interrupt generator and redraw controller? I mean, to use it to send data only when pixels are off, so when PWM enables them, they are static, PWM turned them off - we enable next set and so on. This should lead to flicker free, much smoother screen update.

    Nice idea. It reminds me the old time with sprites on ZX Spectrum and Commodore!

    Indeed, I've used such approach on Spectrum a lot we don't had "Enable V-Sync" feature these days.....

    My "gapless" 1602 OLED finally arrived, and it is finally gapless - now letters in text mode have no more spacing between each other, so they overlap. Have no idea how to fix this. Btw, module is 20 character per line, not 16, but has exact same dimensions as 1602 modules.

    As I'm guessing, there should be some kind of command, to switch to "normal" mode, so letters won't be glued to each other, and screen will become standard 1602. Will use some bruterforce hacking later
