Hi there.
Im requesting some hell with my gotek oled display in my Amiga 500
I have mounted a Big screen oled.
The problem is that i cant Barrely see the letters on the screen, they are very faint.
I have tried diferent screens but the same problem shows, the drive work and load adf files, only the display problem.

What Gotek firmware are you using - HxC or FlashFloppy - and what version.

What is the OLED display? Show some pictures of it - front and back, or link to where you got it from.

There are some OLED brightness settings in the FlashFloppy config - see 'oled-contrast' at:

https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy...iguration-File

The default value is 143 out of 255.

Without knowing which OLED display you are using, it is hard to confirm compatibility. Most 4-wire I2C OLED displays should work.

Thanks for the help, i just recieved a 4th oled display today, and after i turned up the light on the back, Its much better.
When i have out my a-500 together, i Will try to Look at the settings.

Are you talking about an LCD or OLED display?

Only an LCD display has a contrast dial on the back of it. There is no such thing on an OLED display.
