I've just received and begun assembling my SGS (+ 4 plant extender).
I'm having a problem with the SSD1306 OLED display. Only half the display has ever lit for both text and images. (2 pictures attached). And what is displayed seems to skip every other row, making the text unreadable. I don't have an identical spare to prove it isn't the SGS program, but when i drive the suspect SSD1306 on a BC24 (ESP32) using the U8G2 OLED library I get similar results. When I run the SGS "SDL_Pi_SSD1306" python examples (SDL_image.py, SDL_animate.py, SDL_shapes.py) I get the same type of behaviour as well.
I'm guessing this is a hardware failure, but if you could suggest fixes or other tests Id appreciate it. Otherwise advise my next steps to replace it.
I've installed Version 009 of the SGS according to the latest README.MD using "2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-lite" on a raspPi 3B+. So far it looks like the program is functioning correctly.
Thanks, John
