run oled programs without sudo rights?

[shiftleftplusone]

hello,
how is it possible to run oled programs without sudo rights?

[atar-axis]

the problem is, that this repo is using the bcm2835 lib to talk over I²C. the library is accessing the bcm2835 IC directly via /dev/mem, which needs root rights. a more modern approach is to use the i2c driver instead (sudo apt get install i2c-tools, raspi-config -> Interface -> i2c).

You can then switch to this fork: https://github.com/jonesman/ArduiPi_OLED

I tried the linked lib https://github.com/jonesman/ArduiPi_OLED after finally having managed to run this original lib,
but the make compilation of the jonesman fork failed because of sth like my "Pi can't access ARM mode" or whatever (I have a Pi 2 v1.1 run by Stretch). I really had appreciated if I was able to discard that eff*** sudo, too...
