LCD and the controller

The built-in controller used in this OLED is SSD1305, which has 132 × 64 bit SRAM, supports a maximum 132 × 64 pixels screen, and supports SPI/I2C/8bit 8080 parallel port. The solution of this screen is 128 × 32 pixels, so the internal SRAM is not fully used. This module uses four-wire SPI and I2C interfaces, with good compatibility and high transmission speed.

I2C Communication Protocol

Pico OLED 2.23 Spec02.jpg

  • In I2C communication, a 7-bit slave address + 1-bit read/write bit is sent first, waiting for a response from the device.
  • After the slave device responds, it then sends a control byte, which determines whether the bytes sent later are commands or data, and then waits for the slave device to respond.
  • After the slave device answers again, if a command is sent, only one byte of the command is sent. If data is sent, only one byte can be sent, or multiple bytes of data can be sent in succession, depending on the situation.

SPI Communication Protocol

Pico motor-SPI.jpg

  • As shown above, the data on SDIN is shifted into an 8-bit shift register on the rising edge of each SCLK in the order of MSB before LSB.
  • The D/C# is sampled every 8th clock, and the data in the shift register is written to the Graphics Display Memory (GDDRAM) or Command Register at the same count clock.
  • In serial mode, only write operations are allowed. Write operation procedure in 4-wireSPI mode.

Setup environment

Please refer to Raspberry Pi's guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/pico/getting-started/

Download Demo codes

Open terminal and run the following command：

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
cd ~
sudo wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/5/5a/Pico_code.7z
7z x Pico_OLED_code.7z -o./Pico_OLED_code
cd ~/Pico_OLED_code
cd c/build/

Run the Demo codes

This guide is based on Raspberry Pi.

C examples

Open a terminal and enter the directory of C codes: 

cd ~/Pico_OLED_code/c/

Open main.c and select the corresponding module: 

sudo nano main.c

If the display you use is Pico-OLED-2.23, you need to uncomment the line OLED_2in23_test(). Then press ctrl+c, then press Y and enter to save and exit as follows:

Pico-OLED-2.3-3.png

Create a build folder and add SDK:
For example, if the path of SDK is ../../pico-sdk
Then you should create a build and add the path like these: 

#mkdir build
cd build
export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk
#export PICO_SDK_PATH=/home/pi/pico/pico-sdk

Run cmake.. command to generate Makefile file. 

#Pico
cmake -DPICO_BOARD=pico -DPICO_PLATFORM=rp2040 ..
#Pico2
cmake -DPICO_BOARD=pico2 -DPICO_PLATFORM=rp2350 ..

Run make command to build. 

make -j

When the compilation is complete, the uf2 file will be generated inside the build folder. Press and hold the button on the Pico board, connect the Pico to the USB port of the computer via the micro USB cable, and then release the button. Once connected, the computer will automatically recognize a removable disk (RPI-RP2) and copy the uf2 file to the recognized removable disk (RPI-RP2). 

#Pico
cp main.uf2 /media/pi/RPI-RP2/
#Pico2
cp main.uf2 /media/pi/RP2350

Python codes

Use in Windows

  • 1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button on the Pico board, connect the pico to the USB port of the computer through the Micro USB cable, and release the button after the computer recognizes a removable hard disk (RPI-RP2).
  • 2. Copy the uf2 file in the python directory to the recognized removable disk (RPI-RP2).
  • 3. Open Thonny IDE (Note: Use the latest version of Thonny, otherwise there is no Pico support package, the latest version under Windows is v3.3.3).
  • 4. Click Tools->Settings->Interpreter, select Pico and the corresponding port as shown in the figure.

Pico-lcd-0.96-img-config.png

  • 5. File -> Open -> the corresponding .py file, click to run, as shown in the following figure:

Pico-Thonny-v1.15.jpg
This demo provides a simple program...

Run in Raspberry Pi

  • 1. The process of flashing the firmware is the same as on Windows, and you have the option of copying the .uf2 format file into the Pico/Pico2 on your PC or Raspberry Pi.
  • 2. Open the Thonny IDE on the Raspberry Pi (click on the Raspberry logo -> Programming -> Thonny Python IDE) and you can view the version information at Help -> About Thonny.
  • 3. Open the Thonny IDE in Raspberry Pi, update it if it doesn't support Pico
  • 4. Configure the port by choosing MicroPython(Raspberry Pi and ttyACM0 port) in Tools -> Options... -> Interpreter

Pico-lcd-0.96-img-config2.png
If your Thonny doesn't support Pico, you can update it with the following command:

sudo apt upgrade thonny
  • Choose File->Open...->python/ and select the corresponding .py file to run the codes

Introduction

MicroPython Series

C/C++ Series

For C/C++, it is recommended to use Pico VS Code for development. This is a Microsoft Visual Studio Code extension designed to make it easier for you to create, develop, and debug projects for the Raspberry Pi Pico series development board. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional, this tool can help you confidently and easily develop Pico. Below we will introduce how to install and use the extension.

  • Official website tutorial: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/pico-vscode-extension/.
  • This tutorial is applicable to Raspberry Pi Pico, Pico2, and our company's RP2040 and RP2350 series development boards.
  • The development environment defaults to Windows as an example. For other environments, please refer to the official website tutorial for installation.

Arduino IDE Series

Install Arduino IDE

  1. Download the Arduino IDE installation package from Arduino website.
    RoArm-M1 Tutorial II01.jpg
  2. Just click on "JUST DOWNLOAD".
    Arduino IDE Pico.png
  3. Click to install after downloading.
    RoArm-M1 Tutorial II02.gif
  4. Note: You will be prompted to install the driver during the installation process, we can click Install.

Install Arduino-Pico Core on Arduino IDE

  1. Open Arduino IDE, click the File on the left corner and choose "Preferences".
    RoArm-M1 Tutorial04.jpg
  2. Add the following link in "Additional boards manager URLs", then click OK.
    https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json

    RoArm-M1 Tutorial II05.jpg
    Note: If you already have the ESP32 board URL, you can separate the URLs with commas like this: 

    https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json,https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/releases/download/global/package_rp2040_index.json
  3. Click on Tools -> Board -> Board Manager -> Search for pico, it shows installed since my computer has already installed it.

Upload Demo At the First Time

  1. Press and hold the BOOTSET button on the Pico board, connect the Pico to the USB port of the computer via the Micro USB cable, and release the button when the computer recognizes a removable hard drive (RPI-RP2).
    Pico Get Start.gif
  2. Download the demo from #Resource, open the D1-LED.ino under arduino\PWM\D1-LED path.
  3. Click Tools -> Port, remember the existing COM, do not need to click this COM (different computers show different COM, remember the existing COM on your computer).
    UGV1 doenload02EN.png
  4. Connect the driver board to the computer with a USB cable, then click Tools -> Ports, select uf2 Board for the first connection, and after the upload is complete, connecting again will result in an additional COM port.
    UGV1 doenload03EN.png
  5. Click Tools -> Board -> Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040 -> Raspberry Pi Pico.
    Pico Get Start02.png
  6. After setting, click the right arrow to upload.
    Pico Get Start03.png
    • If you encounter problems during the period, you need to reinstall or replace the Arduino IDE version, uninstall the Arduino IDE clean, after uninstalling the software you need to manually delete all the contents of the folder C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Local\Arduino15 (you need to show the hidden files in order to see it) and then reinstall.
