Arduino Yun, I2C OLED & Python

Post by GKinAZ »

Just love it all! Running the I2C OLED on the Yun just fine with the your libraries, etc. But I've got too big for my britches and need to free up some Arduino program storage space (big program to monitor and control my solar water heater system, especially to prevent freezing; quite an interesting project which has been going on for over a year.). OLED takes up about 20% of the Arduino program storage space. Any suggestions/possibility/etc. on how to control/run the OLED from the Linino side with Python passing the required info to the Arduino side and presumably freeing up some Arduino space? Have already moved over to Linino/Python printing, SD filing, control algorithms, reports, time keeping, etc.
Thanks,
GKinAZ

I suppose it's technically possible to pipe data through the microcontroller to a display, but you generally build systems like that using the largest buffer you can afford to compensate for mismatches between the data stream timing and the display timing.
