Punch Through Designs makes a cool little LightBlue Bean that I've been having fun with. I've created a custom display for it that uses the i2c pins. Pin0 is the Enable pin for the display. My example code has the Enable pin high all the time but when it is low the power is removed from the display saving drain on the battery.

Sparkfun released a library that works great to quickly get you going but it does not set the Enable pin high. I've slightly modified one of the examples you get you going. Grab my modified example code here.

Problems and issues: - the IOS app right now is very limited in what it can do. You cannot get the display working without a mac that has bluetooth 4.0. My macbook pro is an older 2010 version with bluetooth 3.0 so I'm using a usb bluetooth 4.0 dongle. - a solid connection to the Bean is needed for it to work. The video shows me pushing it into the Bean which is not a solid connection. For the video I had to try a few times before it would work. This was done to show which side it goes onto and what the overall height would be once if you solder it into place. Soldering is recommended but is difficult to remove.

Slick package

Quick delivery to Finland in well-packed package. Very quick responses to all emails and I got everything going as described. Sample code works as shown on video and is a good starting point. See pic. Thanks! Review Image

awesome product, works out of the box

It took less than 2 weeks to deliver to Europe, the sample sketch is pretty much self-explanatory, got it working in no time

i wonder if it is possible to buy only the breakout board without OLED, because i've got a few of those already

Glad you are happy with them. It was a fun little project. Contact me at 0miker0@gmail.com to have custom ones made without glass.

No sketches available

No sketch available for uploading on the I pad. Have yet to get it working.

Response from miker | Jan. 13, 2015

Sorry that you have not been able to get it working with the ipad app. When it was designed and put on Tindie the IOS app was not released. I too was disappointed to not be able to get my display working with the IOS app. I've just added this note to the product page and I will refund your money with shipping. Email be at 0miker0@gmail.com to be refunded.

Awesome Display

The display arrived quickly without any damage. The sample sketch ran without a hitch. Great little display and now the Bean is even more useful! Highly recommended.
