Seeed oled on cerberus - need working sample

As stated everywhere except on the ghi catalog page for the oled display, the cerberus does not have enough memory to use the standard libraries with the oled. It is a bit misleading to sell it as compatible and then when I get the parts and start on the project it is not really supported.

Using the example provided on the oled page wont work. It complains about “util” not existing in the current context. So, I cant convert text to bitmap with the OS boards? It seems that is a premium function? Premium wont work on the cerberus? How is everyone else doing this.

There is no picomax gadgeteer library. I dont know enough about .net to make this into gadgeteer.

FEZ has been fezzing frustrating.

Have you seen this? http://wiki.tinyclr.com/index.php?title=OLED_Display_Module#Using_the_display_in_a_low_memory_situation

About util, make sure you have latest SDK installed and you have updated your firmware.

We are always here to help :slight_smile:

This was a fresh install of .net C# and loaded the latest firmware to the cerbino.

I’m having the problem on two machines. One that had old .net mf from several years ago (updated to 4.2), the other is a brand new install on windows 8. I can deploy projects to the cerbino and update the firmware, which I have done.

Yes, I have seen that, I am getting this error.
Error 2 The name ‘Util’ does not exist in the current context C:\Users\Mac\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\GadgeteerOLEDapp\GadgeteerOLEDapp\Program.cs 45 56 GadgeteerOLEDapp

Supermac, you do realise that “does not exist in the current context” is a sign of just missing a USING statement and/or a reference added - in this case the one you want is the GHI OSHW “Hardware” reference, and that should help Visual Studio find the right code you need.

I had it added to my solution explorer, but it I didnt have it as a using statement. newb mistake. That fixed it. thanks Bret.
