Why doesn't the Micro OLED library compile on my DUE?

Question

I have an Arduino DUE and just got a Micro OLED display from SparkFun.

Using their library, when I try to compile I get the error below. Other example code works just fine and I've programmed this thing a million times with my code. So it's clearly in the SparkFun code.

Here is the SparkFun tutorial page with a description of the product:

https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/micro-oled-breakout-hookup-guide?_ga=1.19136059.2055231411.1404437767

Here is the library I am using:

https://github.com/sparkfun/Micro_OLED_Breakout/tree/master/Firmware/Arduino/libraries/SFE_MicroOLED

Here is the error I get:

 Error compiling.

• Gerben: That library is uses some AVR specific methods, that aren't implemented for the ARM processor in the Due.
• cbmeeks: Ah, that makes sense. If you want to put this as an answer I will accept. Thanks

Answer 1

That library is uses some AVR specific methods, that aren't implemented for the ARM processor in the Due.

I don't see a real easy way to port those methods.

• cbmeeks: This sucks because the DUE has a ton of RAM, 3.3v native so no converters, and is super fast. Would make an awesome mini-OLED console. :-) And yes, I'm old enough that 96K is a lot of RAM. lol
