Micro:bit with TINY OLED Screen

- Two screens for one Micro:bit?! Yes indeed! This is the very cheap (2 euro) I2C OLED Display Module SSD1306. This teeny tiny screen can fit a paragraph of text of a cool logo on the Micro:bit. Might be really fun to have this for additional data or drawing pictures.
Good video , had same problem at first used the extension you indicated but display was garbled
so I looked through extensions and found muselab/pxt-muselab-oled-v2 2.0.20
SSD1306 OLED MakeCode Package works perfectly for this class of OLED
Comes up as MuseOled in makecode editor.
Any way to make front bigger size with microbit? More readable, thanks!
Very good demo. Did you try more than one extension to drive the OLED display? When coding online everything I do works perfectly my numbers flash across the built-in display on the simulated micro bit but I can't get the simulated OLED to work. Are there any OLED extensions that put a simulated OLED on the computer screen that will work like a real OLED display? At this point I'm having so many problems making it work can’t give up (Stubbornness), and I know the real display is good because I swapped it out and it runs perfectly on an Arduino projects but I can't make it work with micro bit. I'm starting to think but even though other users have got some sort of image on their simulated OLED that it could be faked.
Yes there were a few very similar looking extensions when I searched for 1306 so maybe some are better than others. I can't recall which one I chose but there was maybe only about three or so to choose from. Yeah I think the hardest part of working with electronics is when you only have one of something, it's impossible to tell if its your own mistake or if you're wasting your time with a component that was never going to work. I'm lucky enough to work in a school so am always able to get more than one of them in front of me to quickly eliminate that. It's such an understated problem though!
