Graphic OLED demonstration

I was inspired by Hippy's thermometer and used it as the basis of this sine wave plot which was an exercise to familiarise myself with the graphic possibilities of an OLED. This uses the built-in 18M2 of an AXE131Y (8x5 characters) to draw a sine wave that gradually proceeds across the display.

A significant change from Hippy's method is to disable the auto-increment of the Data Register Address. This is achieved by writing $07 instead of $06 in the initialisation sequence, line 168. The program draws the top half and the bottom half of each column before moving to the next column, instead of drawing one complete row then the other row. The Data Register has to be set explicitly for each column, line 75.

The program should be easily adapted for an AXE133Y, 16x2 characters, by changing 47 to 95 (number of columns) in line 65.

Code:
