That's what I ended up doing since I was using a CH32V305. It is amusing how many ways you can initialize the display into weird modes like "upside down" or "thinks there's 64 vertical pixels when there's only 32".
I wish they were available in slightly larger models-- even if it's only 128x64, there are plenty of spots where a 5-8cm display would be more legible than the 3cm or less ones that are common,
