DisplayIO driver for SSD1305 monochrome displays

For the framebuf based driver see Adafruit CircuitPython SSD1305 <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_SSD1305/>_.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython Version 5+ <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-displayio_ssd1305/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-displayio-ssd1305

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-displayio-ssd1305

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-displayio-ssd1305

Usage Example

.. code-block:: python

import board

# Starting in CircuitPython 9.x fourwire will be a seperate internal library
# rather than a component of the displayio library

except ImportError:
