Can you code an OLED with the onboard 18M2 chip?

I need to get my OLED to say something as all it is currently saying is the welcome message. Is it possible to code it using the onboard 18M2 chip?

It is possible to use the 18M2 on the OLED module to directly drive the display but it would probably be better to resolve the problem you have in communicating with the module as it is.

That the OLED module shows the welcome message means that it is working as expected. Any inability to have it display data you send to it is most likely a connection or a software configuration issue.

In using the 18M2 on-board the OLED module you are most likely swapping one problem for other problems because it is not so easy or simple to control the display from the on-board 18M2 as it is over serial.

It's a solution to the problem you are facing but I wouldn't consider it the best one.
