Does ESPEasy support 2 OLED displays at the same time?

#1 Post by budman1758 » 29 Jan 2018, 05:17

Before I head over to Github I just wanted to ask if ESPEasy is supposed to be able to support more than 1 OLED display concurrently.
I have 2 hooked up to a unit and both display stuff but there are quite a few issues with it.

Yeah, it's been under consideration to allow more than one but it's not a prioritized enhancement.

A very big maybe, but it might be that the OLED and the OLEDframed can run next to each other.
You still have to make sure both OLEDs have a different address, since they occupy the same I2C bus.

I have them on different address. I was using the Framed OLED for both. Basically what happens is one stops responding and the info for BOTH of them is displayed on one.
I did not try the non framed and framed yet. Will try that and see what happens.

Well.... Have a Framed version and a regular working together. They seem to be coexisting peacefully. So far I haven't seen any conflicts. When using commands to write to it manually the only one that responds to that is the non framed display. Same with clear command. Both of them have the some of the same info displayed like temp and humidity. Working well enough I suppose!!
