The SSD1306 code in the py-gaugette library has been modified at andig/AdaPi with several extensions including I²C support, and the addition of geometric drawing functions from Adafruit’s GFX Library. If you need to drive the I²C version of this display from a RPi, this is the place to start.

The first release of the SSD1306 support library py-gaugette used the 5x7 pixel fonts from the Adafruit GFX library. That’s a fine and compact font, but wouldn’t it be nice to have some pretty high-res fonts to take advantage of the memory and resolution we have to work with?

Adafruit’s lovely little 128x32 monochrome SPI OLED module uses a SSD1306 driver chip (datasheet), and Adafruit have published excellent tutorials and libraries for driving this from an Arduino.

I’ve been working on a Raspberry Pi based device that needs to log data to a Google Docs spreadsheet. There are some fine classes like gdata and gspread that do just this.

Here’s an interesting project that makes use of Switec X25 steppers; Gavin Sallery has used two electric imps to gain very remote control of a Switec stepper. Electric Imp looks very cool.
