Adafruit 128x64 OLED FeatherWing Dim

Post by potatoes »

I recently purchased a 128x64 OLED FeatherWing. I'm running it with the ESP32-S3 Feather and powering it via USB. I ran the demo code here to verify the display. It's quite unexpectedly dim. The performance is the same whether connected to a computer USB port or a wall adaptor. Is this brightness typical?

Oh! That is too dark.Though I know this display has no backlight.. I was going through the circuitpython and arduino sample code. Is there any function in the library that can be used for brightness adjustment? Please check.

Unfortunately, the screen is still very dim.

OK, thanks for testing. Let's replace it. Do you happen to be located in the US? Asking as we'd like to potentially get that one back for some testing here.

OK, send an email to [email protected] with a link to this thread and your order number. They can send you a replacement FeatherWing OLED. Also ask for an RMA FORPHIL to have that one returned.
