DisplayIO driver for SSD1306 monochrome displays. DisplayIO drivers enable terminal output

For the framebuf based driver see
`Adafruit CircuitPython SSD1306 <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_SSD1306/>`_.


Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <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://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

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-ssd1306/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-displayio-ssd1306

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

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-displayio-ssd1306

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-ssd1306

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    import board
    import displayio
    import fourwire
    import adafruit_displayio_ssd1306
    import busio

    displayio.release_displays()

    # This pinout works on a Metro and may need to be altered for other boards.
    spi = busio.SPI(board.SCL, board.SDA)
    tft_cs = board.D9
    tft_dc = board.D8
    tft_reset = board.D7

    display_bus = fourwire.FourWire(spi, command=tft_dc, chip_select=tft_cs, reset=tft_reset, baudrate=1000000)
    display = adafruit_displayio_ssd1306.SSD1306(display_bus, width=128, height=64)
