0LED 2x16 CHARACTER DISPLAY WITH WINSTAR WS0010 CONTROLLER

[GDeSantis]

I recently purchased a 2x16 OLED character display that uses a Winstar WS0010 controller.  Although the WS0010 is similar to the Hitachi HD44780 controller developed in the 1980s, there are differences. 

Specifically, the initialization sequence is different and unfortunately, the datasheet explanation to operate the display in the 4-bit mode was not clear.

After multiple attempts, I found the following initialization commands did the job:

0x33,0x32,0x28,0x08,0x06,0x01,0x02,0x0C

The program is attached and includes delays to avoid having to check the device's busy flag.
