[quote author="askast"]... There was a post that said you could use TSOP4840 instead of RPM7140. That did not work for me. Might've been one faulty component, but when I switched it out for a RPM7140 it worked. Also the display I used was a 2.42" OLED with SPI interface with SSD1309. Matched up the wires to the front board and it worked flawlessly.[/quote]
I'm pretty sure that's the case. Namely, I have installed RPM4840 (original from VISHAY) in 3 stands and all three are working without a hitch.
* which FW did you take (for SSD1306 or SH1106)? * Can you upload some pictures from the display?
[quote author="cbi7333"]@SZ64 - what about mounting the 1.3 inch display? Have a picture of how you mounted it to your panel with Sparky's OLED board? Thanks![/quote]
Installation is very simple. Display is pin-to-pin compatible with the 0.96" ;-) Vdd: 3.3V and Vcc: 12V
@all: Who has opinion the 0.96" UG-2864HSWEG01 is too small (like me) he can take a 1.3" UG-2864KSWLG01 with integrated SSD1306 Contoller. The thing works perfectly without any further modification on sparkybg OLED board.
