Heltec: OLED doesn't work
I have a Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 (V3) board, which isn't yet supported by this repository, but it's very similar and I just had to switch a few pins.
When trying to talk to the display, I had a few issues:
-
The display gets completely reset (back to black) at the end of
heltec_hello_world(which means you can't see anything). I believe this is because thePinDriverhas aDropimplementation that resets the pin - so the RST gets set back to zero, clearing the display. I'm not sure what the best solution is, maybe pulling the driver out to main so it survives longer. -
After solving that, I had a completely white display instead of the expected text "Hello Rust". This is because in
led_draw_customit draws a rectangle withfill=On, so the whole display is already On, and the text writing doesn't show. Two possible solutions are either setting fill=Off or foreground=off, so there's contrast between text and rectangle.
