I have just tested mine 8266 with latest stable (221030) and rotating is working fine.
Did you restart the tty2oled Daemon after editing your user.ini?
Code: Select all
/media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled restartPlease post your tty2oled-user.ini

i also have the latest 301022
no matter if yes or not in rotate it looks like this (user.ini below the image)

Weird. I don't have a new idea yet. But could you rename tty2oled-user.ini for backup purposes and run update_tty2oled.sh afterwards, please? This will create an new but empty tty2oled-user.ini file. Then completely turn off MiSTer and tty2oled, wait at least 10 sec, then restart and test again.
no, i would like it to have it this way. As you see it on the image is the og orientation. the startup grafik is upside down also.

Did that. It stays now in his og orientation. what now? retry including the the rotation option again? (ROTATE="yes")
The display software read one pin of the 8266 for automatic display rotation.
If the pin is at low level the display will start rotated.
For the 8266 we use Pin 16.
Normally the Pin should be unused and at high voltage level 3.3v.
Are you able to check the Pin Voltage Level?

no, i am not that into technical things. could it be a cable problem?

No, senseless. Just copy your tty2oled-user.ini back.

If the display is working in a normal way (but rotated), definitely no.

no it is working in is og rotation and normal. i want to rotate it because of the setup orientation with the cable on the left side. it wont rotate
ok if its not the cable problem, why do all commands work but rotation not?

doesn't work
Doesn't work at all?? Only the welcome animation? No MENU or any other picture when starting a core?
Do have another display or device connected to MiSTers USB ports which could occupy ttyUSB0 ? Please check and report
Code: Select all
ls -lh /dev/ttyU*RealLarry wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 2:32 pmDoesn't work at all?? Only the welcome animation? No MENU or any other picture when starting a core?

no, the option rotation does not work. everthing else works correct.
i have a hdd, wifi dongle and bt dongle connected to different usb ports.

how do i ssh into the mister on a macbook?
AFAIK open the Applications folder in Finder and double click on the Utilities folder and double click on the Terminal application. Then you can open a ssh connection by typing
Code: Select all
ssh @IP-Address-of-MiSTerBut hold on until Venice has checked the tilt pin (which is intended to detect it's orientation - it's a tilt switch)
I have uploaded the tty2oled TEST VERSION 221208T.
Let's see if this fixes your Problem.
I have changed the 8266 Tilt/Autoration Pin from Pin 16 (D0) to Pin 10 (SD3).
See here for a 8266 Pinout: https://www.instructables.com/NodeMCU-E ... nd-Pinout/
As far as I know No Pre-Made 8266 based Display supports the Tilt Switch, so changing the Pin was easy to do.
No Problem with my 8266 Display.
HowTo get the Test Version?

Thanks I will give it a try later.
That screen looks like Antonio Villena's. They are always the same. with the same error

the screen always appears upside down at startup if you don't touch the ini as Venice or Larry have commented, also some suffer from update problems although several people fixed it with prompts, I recommend you keep an eye on Venice and Larry and read the answers to that same problem in previous comments

OK, never had any problem. And I can just turn it around to have it not upside down. It is just the rotation config that does not work.

Hey thanks a lot. now it is working properly again with the rotation.
Great!
The previously chosen 8266 Pin for the AutoRotation Feature was not the best choice as the Pin has not all needed features.
The new Pin works as expected.
I will release a new stable soon.
...the latest artwork I have done:
An don't forget: If I'm doing pixel art, then I'm doing this for all display setups I'm involved in. Just update from the usual sources 
yes, the analogue pocket. ok thanks
I'm not sure whether this is an issue with tty2oled itself, but when starting the arcade game Moon Alien (located in Arcade/Alternatives/Galaxian), the logo displayed on the OLED is for the Thomson MO6, which I will take as read isn't correct. LOL Not sure where to report this.
