OLED Pixelated - Mostly unreadable

Post by N4BOZ »

I just got a Zumspot with the 1.3" OLED. It may have come from HRO originally but I bought it from someone on QRZ. He had put a fresh copy of Pi-Star on the card and everything came with it.

The problem is, even after an exhaustive search finding settings - the screen is missing entire lines of pixels making it mostly unreadable except for the wan0 address upon bootup.

It is set to Type 6, verified the Log setting is 0, etc. and attached is the best I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Try "type=3".

Code: Select all

  :
[OLED]
Type=3
Brightness=0
Invert=0
Scroll=0
Rotate=0
Cast=0
LogoScreensaver=0

They only other possibility I can think of then, besides the OLED having gone bad, is that you may being running under voltage. Have you tried a different power supply?
