I2C OLED display does not work with my Wemos D1 Mini

The thingpulse driver on the other hand does not appear to use any of SPI.h or OLED_RESET in their I2C implementation.
OLED display code works with Arduino Uno but not NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP8266MOD)

How do I clear the screen of an OLED display with the Tiny4kOLED library?

AtTiny85 Electronic Dice project with SS1306 OLED display

Finally, I used the Tiny4kOLED arduino library to display the pixels on the SSD1306 OLED display.
There must be a way to greatly simplify this code, but I can't figure it out

Now, for how to actually make the screen do what you want. This is the implementation of the bitmap function. This takes as its final parameter an address to some data in PROGMEM. When you make a call with a literal (e.g. oled.bitmap(..., 0x08);) you're telling it that the address to read the bitmap data from is in 0x08 PROGMEM3 .
