Nucleo + OLED + Adafruit_GFX_I2C

Hi Guys,

this time, I tried bring to live OLED display module with Adafruit_GFX_I2C library. Again without success. Can somebody help me? Probably I'm doing some simple mistake. This is how my Nucleo F401RE is connected to OLED display. /media/uploads/vrabec/img_6812.jpg

And this is piece of code I'm try to run:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "Adafruit_SSD1306.h"

DigitalOut myLed(LED1);
I2C i2c(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL);
Adafruit_SSD1306 oled (i2c, D4);

int main() {
    int tickTime = 1000;
    oled.begin(SSD1306_EXTERNALVCC);
    wait_ms(200);
    oled.display();
    wait(2);
    while(1) {
        myLed = !myLed;
        wait_ms(tickTime);
    }
}

Adafruit_SSD1306.h is configured to support I2C and display with resolution 128x64:

#define SSD1306_128_64
//#define SSD1306_128_32

//#define IS_SPI
#define IS_I2C

Please help me. I already spend quite a lot time with this issue :(

I found solution by myself :). 1.) I don't need pull-up resistors for I2C in this setup, because OLED display already has it. 2.) don't setup I2C frequency and start() method. (After commenting out this stuff, display starts working).
