ArduinoCore-avr VS u8g2

Gotta pick some project that matters to you and do it. Putting Python code into production with multi-person teams is outright maddening, but for the individual who wants to put their skills on wheels, Python is a great place to start.

Another fun thing to try is

https://www.arduino.cc/

I got started with that buying an Arduino and a breadboard and a handful of 74xx logic chips and I started writing Arduino programs that would generate inputs to the 74xx chips and verify the expected outputs and thus taught myself C coding for the Arduino and how to make circuits with discrete logic at the same time.

Check out existing implementations like Arduino: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.h

you can always just use an ide but i use this one on my old chrome book https://www.arduino.cc/

You'll also need the avr C library and the Arduino library, and possibly a Makefile or similar to corral the compilation process

Ya for $25 you either want 4-5 clones, or support the official Italian Arduino makers as thanks for making the entire ecosystem possible by buying one of their own boards from https://www.arduino.cc/

It depends what exactly is she into. For electronics you can check out arduino. They sell full kits with everything you need - some components like leds, breadboard so you can create circuits without soldering and a small 8bit computer to control everything with. AFAIK they also sell kits specifically for education starting with middle school.

They are in via Arduino. ;-)

Try the https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki library.

If you want to stick with the u8g2 library, be sure to check out the u8g2 wiki for some more information. There's a lot of info on the setup page and I find the u8g2 reference especially useful in practice.

Check out the U8G2 library if you're going to work with OLED displays. It's really the best one out there and it does it all, supporting multiple OLED displays with the one library. It also has excellent support for numerous fonts in different sizes.

I have been considering two different methods for achieving this. The first method is the one that Olikraus uses with the u8x8 library, which implements a callback system that handles the hardware abstraction layer. The second method that I have been contemplating is using i2cdev, which allows for sharing the i2c port with other threads.

I use the u8x8 library (https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8x8reference) for the display. I like this library a lot!

Use u8g2, awesome library, very flexible, works with everything.

Try U8G2. It works with both these OLEDs and many more.

For displays like this, I strongly recommend the U8G2 (https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2) library. It has support for pretty much everything. However, you might need to find/write/tweak your own "hal" later, which is just a couple of simple callback functions that bridge it to the I2C or SPI ports of your MCU.
