I've been looking for an OLED display that is of a size of the AXE133Y but could display larger characters.
I found that there were code samples out there that would hack a 16x2 display to display a single line of larger characters, but not for the Picaxe.
I've just found an OLED board that seems to do everything I want. It's more expensive at $40 for the 2-line and $49 for the 4-line, but if you want bigger letters for readability or customized appearance or custom symbols it might be worth it.
1. Mixed fonts
2. 5-step brightness & OFF
3. data rate to 9600bps for the two line, 38.4kbps for the four line
4. displays ASCII codes 32 to 127 AND permits custom programming of 16 characters.
