Use OLED 126x64 Layout on Corne Without Dongle, Only With CUSTOM SCREEN

[radsonpatrick]

Hello! I’d like to know if it would be possible to use the screen layout on a standard 126x64 OLED for the Corne without needing a dongle, relying solely on the CUSTOM SCREEN functionality. The default ZMK layout isn’t as practical, and the CUSTOM SCREEN offers a much better and more functional display.

Note: I only have the central side with a display, so being able to monitor both batteries directly on the screen would be amazing!

Any guidance or ideas on how this could be implemented?

Hi, if possible, in your build.yml configuration file I added this:
corne_left dongle_display oled_adapter_pro_micro_128x64

And in your west.yml file write this:

manifest:
 remotes:
   …
   - name: mctechnology17
     url-base: https://github.com/mctechnology17
 projects:
   …
   - name: zmk-oled-adapter
     remote: mctechnology17
     revision: main
   …

You can check the module for reference here (this can be done WITH and WITHOUT dongle):

I'm glad it works for you, I thought you wanted to use the widgets on a 128x64 screen as you wrote in the subject, that's why I wrote the option to use the oled display adapter. The display_dongle module is not adapted for a small 128x32 screen visually speaking. You have to adapt it in two ways: 1. adjusting the font size, 2. removing the widgets and relocating them or 3. both. I made a modification of that module for small screens, but I'm abroad now and I don't have a way to test the software (I don't have oled screens at hand), if you dare to try it without having tested it first, I can publish an alpha modification and after I return home in about 2 weeks I can test and modify details.

Hello! 👋 I'm really excited about this project and eager to help test new features or improvements. I've been experimenting with some adjustments to rotate or reposition objects, but haven't quite found success yet. So, I've opened this for my problems:
englmaxi/zmk-dongle-display#2

If there's anything specific you'd like tested or if I can help in any other way, please let me know—I’d love to contribute!

Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi, I'm back from my trip and I'm working on what you mentioned. I managed to rearrange the widgets so that they now look better on the screen, I also reduced the font size so that it looks more proportional on the screen. This is what a view of the master connected to 1 NO DONGLE slave looks like:

nice ! i working in this too.
this is my result only now :

[mctechnology17]

It looks great and I'm glad you've already done it! So I'm going to close this thread!

[mctechnology17]

Goal achieved, then this thread is no longer necessary.

do you have discord ?
I think we can develop something together based on this new layout.
