trencherfield Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi folks, Thought I'd share a pic of a nice Newhaven Display OLED which works nicely with the OpenXenium for me. I just used the Arduino Pro Micro but not on the spi2par2019 board, since it's oled (no backlight etc), plus it's no use anyway since oled has a 20 pin varied connector that doesn't match obviously. You need to be careful setting the pins up. It's using the same hd44780 parallel 6800 4-bit interface (not i2c) - I just set the oled using jumpers soldered on the back as per pdf. I added the initialisation code into the .ino and changed some of the hd44780 commands up as well. You also have to edit the liquidcrystal library too - bit of a faff, I'm no coder but managed in the end after a week. You can get it on Mouser etc, different colours. Ugh it's £22.80 plus the vat though Rough first youtube vid on ipad - turn up volume. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoTeamScotch Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Very cool! I plan on doing an OLED panel after I get these two LCDs installed. I love the look of OLED. You should post photos of the finished install once you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trencherfield Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks! Will do, just fitted it now into the front panel after having the dreaded dremmel on the go (one slip and disaster) or is that just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trencherfield Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Finished building the Xbox with the OLED installed. Managed to go in without an 'overcut' since I had a bit of patience for once and cut inside the lines, then used a file, As promised a few pics (though the camera hated the brightness & blue colour, had to shine lighting on it) Decided to do a Hotachi/LG flashed 8050L pc drive too for it since the dvd was capput as usual. Take ages to get the dvd tray sitting flush perfectly and all 6 case screws in too. Have to modify the dvd drive metal and plastic chassis to do that - a right chore. It's running a nice original 200GB IDE Maxtor that was bought new for an xbox - so not been hammered. Green lan led & blue 5mm hd led - both waterclear flat tops. Cheers all.

DAVBERE Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hello trencherfield could you post the diagram you used for the install please ? And or photos showing the wired connections of your install ? I found a schematic diagram by NeMesiS, but I am unsure of how to wire pin 18 of the Pro Micro.

Regards Hi, Unfortunately I sold the Xbox and have no pictures of the wiring on the back. I just wired it up to the spec of the PDF suitable for the HD44780 spec even though the OLED doesn't say it's supports it, I just set it to the same bit spec. After that I opened up the spi2par2019 code in the IDE suite and added the OLED initialisation code and changed the existing header instructions and added more code instruction to set the display lines correctly. Then I made a final change to the LCD library in the Arduino suite for the 3rd & 4th lines register as it was different for the OLED. I just did it off-bat so to speak. I percivered until I got the 'Xenium OS 2.3.1' to display nicely centered. Then everythign was perfect. I've noticed others using just SDi like the diagram you posted don't seem to display the xenium os correctly at start. I went with the original HD44780 spec which avoided those issues. Regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVBERE Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hello trencherfield, Thanks for the reply Hopefully if and when you do another xbox you take some pictures. Would also be nice to see how you made your dvd drive mod look so clean. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herooftheday Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) hi sorery for reviving this thread. Do you still have the ino file, it would help me greatly? edit: would it also work with a 1.54-Zoll-OLED-Anzeigemodul 128x64?

Trench that was cut with a dremel? It looks REALLY good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
