Purchased the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED - 128x64 OLED Add-on For Feather - STEMMA QT / Qwiic, soldered the headers on and plugged it in to the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266. Ran the test sketch and the OLED displayed nothing. Checked if driver was properly installed and it was. Checked continuity of sda,scl, and power on the OLED board. To be sure, resoldered the connections and checked the voltage directly on the pins on the OLED board. The serial monitor shows the sketch is executing:
zI{⸮ ⸮8V⸮⸮OLED FeatherWing test
18:15:15.612 -> OLED begun
18:15:16.627 -> IO test
I connected a compatible OLED with a different address that I had to the Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 and it displayed the OLED test. Looks like a DOA and replacement is in order. Pictures are attached for your reference.

Hi, could you post the modified code (if any) you used to display in the picture?

Re: Adafruit FeatherWing OLED - 128x64 OLED does not display
The IC2 address on the working display is 0x78 while the defective Feather OLED has a IC2 address of 0x3C. With different addresses both can work on the IC2 port. The A, B and C buttons, also, test ok and can used as switches in a sketch. Nice display if it was working.
The test sketch is the same as provided in instruction :

Re: Adafruit FeatherWing OLED - 128x64 OLED does not display
I'm having the same issue right now, except soldered directly to an RP2040 Featherwing board.
I ordered 4 OLED + RP2040s, have assembled two of them so far and neither are working. It seems odd that both would be DOA, but I'm not sure how to debug it. The basic LED fade example works on both assembled units.

I'm using the SH110X driver, code copied and pasted from here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SH ... erwing.inoadafruit2 wrote:SSD1306 driver wont work with SH1107 OLED, please follow the guide exactly to install the right driver :)
I opened another 1107 display + RP2040 and connected them via a Stemma QT, and still nothing from the example in that GH repo.

Thank You, it works! How could I miss something so simple. Probably need new glasses. ;)
