This project makes use of the Grove OLED 96x96 display to present a mini-slideshow. Pictures on your computer are transferred to the OLED via a Processing script, and will cycle through them as many times as you choose.
void setup() { //Allow communication to OLED Wire.begin();
//Allow Serial communication between Freetronics Eleven and Computer Serial.begin(28800);
//Initialise the OLED SeeedGrayOled.init(); //Clear the OLED display SeeedGrayOled.clearDisplay(); //Set to vertical mode - horizontal mode doesn't work with this example SeeedGrayOled.setVerticalMode();
}
void loop(){ //Listen for Serial comunication while (Serial.available()>0) { // Read data and send directly to the OLED sendMyData(Serial.read()); counter++;
//When counter reaches 4608 pixels, the picture is complete. if(counter>4607){ //Insert delay to allow viewing of picture. delay(4000); Serial.println("End of Transmission");
//Reset the counter for the next picture counter=0; } } }

Please note: that you must use the Arduino IDE version 023 until Seeed Studio update their driver for this OLED. Their current driver is not compatible with later versions of Arduino IDE.
