Hi all,

I am trying to save a simple code but it does not save.
I used this command on Windows terminal to flash the ESP32 wemos oled (attached pic) board:

esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM3 --baud 921600 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x10000 espruino_esp32.bin 0x8000 partitions_espruino.bin

The I used Eepruino web IDE on Windows changed the baud to setting to highest (115200)

When I connect to ESP32 I get this error message. However it seems to work fine.

when I uploade the code I get this warning:

this is test code:

function start(){
g.clear();
g.drawString("test",0,0);
g.flip();
}

// I2C
I2C1.setup({scl:D4,sda:D5});
var g = require("SSD1306").connect(I2C1, start);

When I save() it does not save

I disconnect and then reconnect ESP32 board but nothing shows up on oLED.
Any insight?

Thanks very much.

I tried this and then saved using save().
However, LCD shows some dots but no text

function start(){
g.clear();
g.drawString("test",0,0);
g.flip();
}


E.on('init', function() { 
// I2C
I2C1.setup({scl:D4,sda:D5});
var g = require("SSD1306").connect(I2C1, start);
});

@user88194 in your case the problem is var g in init - you're defining it locally, so g won't exist when used in start. Try:

var g;
function start(){
  g.clear();
  g.drawString("test",0,0);
  g.flip();
}
E.on('init', function() { 
  // I2C
  I2C1.setup({scl:D4,sda:D5});
  g = require("SSD1306").connect(I2C1, start);
});
