Hello All,
Most of the time am in "reading/Learning mode on this Forum, but now I need some directions/help.
I have a small project I'm working on since 2015 and I keep improving on it eversince.
It is a small GPS locator/GPS info that I can use on a vehicle, be it a bike or a car that doesn't matter.
It is a selfcontaining device powered by a single Lion cell through an https://www.adafruit.com/product/1400
in combination with an https://www.adafruit.com/product/2124
The first version, and still in active duty, uses and 0.96" Oled with 128*64 dots , https://www.adafruit.com/product/326
This works kind of oke, but now after such a long time the display is slowly fading.
So the search for a new display is ongoing for already some years but I can not find a suitable display working day and night.
I have tried a 2.9" waveshare B/W E-paper and yes, this works in direct sunlight very well using partial refresh, but at night not at all.
I have tried several 1.5" O-Leds, RGB and Monochrome but all seem to not have so much brightness to be visible in Sunlight.
The 0.96" is still the one with the most brightness, but I would like to show more info so I need a display with more dots
TFT's are not really my cup of thee, not having much experience with them.
So my big question here is, what kind of Display would you suggest :
project demands: not too big, say max 4", resolution at least 128*128 but preferable a bit more, readable day and night and not using a big amount of power.
Any tips would be greatly apreciated.
