OLED display integration

A project log for TuneTrackr

A Raspberry Pi ZERO W turned into a GPS run tracking, Spotify streaming machine.

Today I got my hands on this awesome little 128x32 i2c OLED screen from Adafruit, so now the goal is to try use the luma.oled library to try show the currently playing spotify song and maybe whether we have a GPS fix or not.

With a little bit of work, I have some cool "font awesome" icons and scrolling song name that updates the song name every 5 seconds. The code is still super sketchy and I need to look into allowing the song name to be updates as it changes.

It also looks like I might wanna make a simple menu system to switch between display modes. Mode #1 would display current music state, and #2 would display GPS fix, 3G signal and current pace.

Here is a shot of the Screen running on start up.
