This is a Node.js port of the Arduino C/C++ Adafruit GFX Library available from GitHub.

There are various libraries for LCD and OLED displays that extend this library. Search NPM for @lynniemagoo for just a few.

The Adafruit Libraries were originally written by Limor Fried/Ladyada for Adafruit Industries.

For more information, see:

BSD license, check license.txt for more information.

• 'Fonts' folder contains in this project contains ported bitmap fonts for use with this module (See example below).

npm install @lynniemagoo/adafruit-gfx-library

The following code was tested using Node.js v16.13.2 and should work once the following libraries are installed:

• oled-font-pack
• @lynniemagoo/adafruit-gfx-library
• @lynniemagoo/adafruit-ssd-1306-library

Note that you may need to change the I2C Bus Number or the I2C Address below depending on your display.
