SSD1306 INCLUDE for PBP3

[Ioannis]

Wrong MCU selected on the IDE?

I'm trying to run this on 16F886
and getting error
ASM Symbol not previously defined FSR1L Error 113

my expectation is that old clunker chips with only one FSR register will likely not have enough Flash and/or Sram
to be useful with this sort of display, the code makes no allowance for them

Well, as author stated, this code is suited for 16F series and fits under 4K. 886 has 8K.

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.
