SSD1306 OLED Display

This plugin utilizes a 128x32 SSD1306-based display to display printer and job status for OctoPrint. It provides a convenient way to view job status directly on the Raspberry Pi without needing to open a web page, for printers that either don't have a display or won't respond to commands to update their display.

This has been re-written from the forked repository. It's written for a 128x32 display and adapted to Python 3.

Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/fredrikbaberg/OctoPrint-SSD1306/archive/main.zip

Libraries

Install the following libraries.

sudo apt install -y python3-dev python-smbus i2c-tools python3-pil python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-rpi.gpio

Configuration

Enable I2C in Raspberry config

sudo raspi-config
reboot

Check I²C SSD1306 OLED Display dectection

With the I2C libraries installed I used the i2cdetect command to find the module on the I2C bus. OLED Display is at address 0x3C.

pi@OctoPi:~ $ i2cdetect -y 1
