MicroPython Driver for the Waveshare Pico OLED 1.3

This is (hopefully) an improved MicroPython driver for the Waveshare Pico-Oled-1.3 derived from the one provided by Waveshare.

Features

• Derived from the MicroPython Driver for the pico OLED 1.3 by Waveshare.
• Initialization and access to the state of key0 and key1 via the display object.
• Better character display capabilities:
  • Better fixed and variable width fonts than the build-in font provided by framebuf.
  • Better text function:
    • Automatic wrapping of text.
    • Returns endpoint coordinates of last written character.

Usage

• Connect the display to the Raspberry Pi Pico W.
• Flash the Pico W with the latest MicroPython.
• Copy the codebase to the Raspberry Pi Pico or (Pico W).
• Use as below:

>>> import PicoOled13
>>> display=PicoOled13.get()
>>> display.clear()
>>> if display.is_pressed(display.KEY0):
>>>     loc=display.text("Key0 pressed",0,0,0xffff):
>>> if display.is_pressed(display.KEY1):
>>>     loc=display.text("Key1 pressed too",0,loc[1],0xffff):
>>> display.show()

Acknowledgements

• The pico-2fa-totp created by Edd Mann, and my derivative fork which created the use-case for writing this driver

• Pico-oled-1.3 driver by Waveshare

• Much nicer fonts as compared to the blox provided by framebuf.
