OLED Display
Intro
I really like the neat little OLED displays. They are crisp and draw only some miliamps. Cheap OLED display have a resolution 128x32 that's enough for about 4 lines and 20 characters.

OLED and I2C Words

oled-emit works like the standard word emit. It blocks the calling thread, as long as the character is not written to the OLED display (less than 300 us for a 6x8 character and 400 kHz I2C). Horizontal (x) position is in pixel (0 to 127), vertical position (y) is in lines, a line consists of 8 pixels. Larger fonts takes more than one line.

oled-emit    ( Char -- )        Emits a character (writes a character to the OLED display)
oled-emit?   ( -- Flag )        OLED ready to get a character (I2C not busy)

hook-emit    ( -- a-addr )      Hooks for redirecting terminal IO on the fly
hook-emit?   ( -- a-addr )    

oledpos!     ( x y -- )         Set OLED cursor position, 
                                x horizontal position, max. 127  
                                y vertical position (a line consists of 8 pixels), max. 3 for 128x32 or 7 for 128x64 displays.
oledpos@     (  -- x y )        Get the current OLED cursor position
oledcmd      ( c-addr -- )      Send command to the OLED controller SSD1306. First byte contains the length of the command.
oledclr      (  --  )           Clears the OLED display, sets the cursor to 0, 0
oledfont     ( u --  )          Select the font, u: 0 6x8, 1 8x8, 2 8X16 , 3 12X16
oledcolumn!  ( u -- )           Write a column (8 pixels) to the current position. Increment position
oledcolumn@  ( -- u )           Read a column (8 pixels) from the current position

I2Cdev       ( u -- )           Sets the 7-bit I2C address
I2Cput       ( c-addr u -- )    c-addr buffer address for the message with lengh u to send
I2Cget       ( c-addr u -- )    c-addr buffer address for the message to receive
I2Cputget    ( a1 u1 a2 u2 -- ) a1 buffer address for the message to send, a2 buffer address for the message to receive

>oled        ( -- addr1 addr2 ) redirect to oled
>term        ( addr1 addr2 -- ) terminate redirection

Usage

It is easy to redirect the terminal output to the OLED display, to use the string formatting words.

: oled-hallo (  -- )
  hook-emit @              \ save emit hook
  ['] oled-emit hook-emit ! \ redirect terminal to oled-emit
  ." Hallo Velo! " cr
  ." ciao"
  hook-emit !         \ restore old hook
;

or even simpler

: oled-hallo (  -- )
  >oled         \ redirect terminal to oled-emit
  ." Hallo Velo! " cr
  ." ciao"
  >term         \ terminate redirection
;

or on a command line

>oled .( Hallo Velo!) >term

show date and time on OLED (see CmsisRtos#How_to_use_Tasks for a background task).

: clock (  -- )
  oledclr
  3 oledfont
  -1 -1 -1 alarm!  \ set an alarm every second
  begin
    wait-alarm     \ wait a second
    0 0 oledpos!
    >oled .time >term
  key? until
  key drop
;
