half the pexles on my OLED no longer work
Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 12:28 am
Hey guys, last night I was doing some soldering adding in some LED's and stuff and today I went to fly and noticed my OLED looking strange. It seems to be missing about half the pixles, I cant tell for sure but it looks like every other horizontal line is missing. I've went over all connections and verified everything is perfect. I also verified I have 5v on the i2C buss' power rail.
I dont know if it's some issue I've caused or perhaps the OLED has gone bad, I've had this thing forever on MANY different projects. I dont have my computer where I am today but I plan to do a clean reinstall of the entire sketch tomorrow (thinking maybe one tiny little bit had corrupted or something, tho I've not found any other issues at all).
I can live with it (actually I could live without the OLED all together now that I've got it tuned) but I have to wonder what's going on, why this happened. I really dont believe it had anything to do with the work I was doing on it yesterday, just coincidence but I've really went over all the connections with a fine tooth comb and I'm 99.999% sure it's not a wiring issue.
