Today I will show you how to take what we have from the last time and make it run much faster! How fast? Last time we were approaching around 10FPS, but with all the changes done today, the animations are running at almost 30FPS. Same as the last time, this project uses Arduino UNO with 128x64 OLED Display with SSD1306 driver chip, connected via SPI connection and using the u8g library to draw pixels. The 10k potentiometer is connected to A0 analog input and the value is used to draw the correct tickmarks and labels on the display.
Coincidently, this project looks great on yellow/blue OLED display. On this display, the first 16 pixels are yellow, while the rest of the screen is blue. The selected design works perfectly because the big top value on top only covers the first 15 pixels. I actually think that line 16 is not visible on the display, but we are not drawing anything on that line!
Compared to the previous version, I´m also using the much bigger knob. Same as the last time, this is a solid metal aluminum knob - link above. There are similar knobs that are plastic with a metal coating, but those look and feel cheap. The selected knob is very heavy and nice to touch. We also don´t have much problem with the placement. This big knob covers almost half of the screen without too much trying.
Do you have any questions? Suggestions for the next video? Please put those down in the comment section. I try to answer as many questions as I can. Thank you for watching, reading the video description and I hope to see you next time. Good luck with your projects!
