@paulmcwhorter Getting Started with OLED 1306 in Micropython
This is my solution to the homework for Lesson 25 of the Raspberry Pi Pico W lessons.

The homework was to build on the class lesson of installing the ssd1306 oled display onto the breadboard and connecting it to the Pico. Then program the Pico to display "My Circle" and then draw a circle on the display.

Going back to my high school days and how to calculate a circle was interesting, I had to look this up again because it's been at least 25 years since I was programming circles and other objects. That's my story and I'm sticking to it... Once I had the formula, it was a matter of coding it using the math library after knocking the cobwebs outta the brain. This is the result.

One issue I had is that without the extra 5px I am adding to the height calculation, the top of the circle ends up in the yellow area of the display, so i moved it down. Hocus Pocus. LOL

You may notice I've left the DHT11 and button in the circuit. If they come back, i am ahead of the game. If not, well, I'll remove them and move on. But in the meantime, I'm l=playing with outputting the same data we did in Lesson 22.

I also have configured this to use the SunFounder BreadVolt for battery power - I will diverge from the classes here as I prefer this method of battery power. All I have to do to make this work with the battery is remove the red cable from the 3V3 OUT pin 36.

I enjoy these exercises.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Paul will complete the homework.


NOTE:
I started this series about 2 years after it began, so a lot of catching up. I'm also taking the Ultimate GPS course that draws heavily on the Pico W lessons, so I'm bombing thru these as fast as I can to catch up. Also, while I bought the Pico W kit and have the Pico W, I bought the Pico 2 W and am using it here in this series. Should be backwards compatible and function the same with a better CPU and more memory. We'll see! :) Have a few projects I want to use a microcontroller for, so all of this helps to that end.

Still haven't figured out how to use the free video editing tools used to make this video. I am getting better over time but you can only shove so much info into a soup can... Still having a blast tho :)
