SSD1306 on SPI

[JSven.2]

Hi all,

Trying to setup SPI for ssd1306 in STM32CubeIDE based on the code from "afiskon" in Github.

Problem is that I'm new to this processor and the IDE.

Could someone please help me?

I'm using the NUCLEO-F302R8 board and I have set up the following GPIO ports additional to the SPI3 bus.

Does anyone have a good example, because I can't find an howto on Youtube or somewhere else.

BR

The tools are only going to auto-gen configuration code.

Expect that you're going to have to map the GPIO and SPI code into the expectation of the libraries.

Perhaps look at the Examples in the CubeF3 repository for SPI examples

Question was also posted on this older thread

https://community.st.com/s/question/0D53W00000vQAzaSAG/failed-stm32-cube-hal-for-oled-ssd1306-with-spi

I primarily use SSD130x / SH1106 ones via I2C, less moving parts..

I'd expect the libraries break out the command and data paths, and related setting of D/C pin and the CS. You need to do the SPI Receive Transmit of bytes across the interface. If you use the Transmit, you need to make sure the bytes completely clocked over the wire.

I’ve now been trying to get the SPI communication to the OLED to work for three days without any luck.

There is no good examples on youtube, what I found so far.

I haven’t got the faintest idea what the problem could be and I would really apricate your help.

I’ve connected it directly to my Nucleo-F302R8 board.

I also changed the code in afiskon's example code to get led and pushbutton working so I know that it enters the OLED test mode.

I’ve checked all connections, configured the conf file, but still no action on the display.

For you this might be an obvious fault, but I’m stuck.
