Hi there – unless there’s a new MakeCode extension for this display, I don’t think I’ll be doing any more with it – one day perhaps!

I was wondering if you could make a game with this cause I’m having a hard time understanding all of this and if you made a game I think it would help a lot. Thanks man. :)

Hi Daniel – it’s a long time since I tried this screen. Did you add the extension to the v0 editor?

For some reason my blocks are much more different than yours. I don’t have the block “clear screen and cache”.

Hi Marek – are you using the old MakeCode editor? ( https://makecode.microbit.org/v0/ ) I’ve not used this display for a long time, but a year ago that was a requirement to make the extension work.
best wishes and good luck,
Giles

Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but (I’ve tried it on : ipad, phone and pc) after adding the support and trying to compile the code, I’m getting the compilation error. It happens even with a single line containing the WSLCD1IN8.LCD.Init().
Any idea what’s wrong?

Not that I’m aware of – this lovely little display needs some new drivers I think!

Is there a way to upload images without doing it bit-by-bit? I’d like to be able to just select a file.

It’s been a while since I played with this. Looks like I wrote some data to the screen then used the ‘Show Windows display data’ block with specified co-ordinates of the area I wanted to refresh.
