OLED 2x16 CHARACTER DISPLAY WITH WINSTAR WS0010 CONTROLLER

[GDeSantis]

Several firms offer a 2x16 OLED character display that uses a Winstar WS0010 controller.  Although the controller is similar to the Hitachi HD44780 controller developed in the 1980s, when used in the 4-Bit interface mode, the display power up initiation sequence is not clearly defined in the Winstar datasheet.

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

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