Adafruit_SSD1306_72x40: A library fix for non-standard 72x40 OLED displays extending Adafruit_SSD1306
By

Summary
A GitHub repository providing a fix for SSD1306 OLED displays with a non-standard 72x40 pixel resolution. The library extends Adafruit_SSD1306 to handle these displays, which require special exceptions since the SSD1306 chip is designed for 128x64 pixel displays. The author created this as a faster alternative to the U8g2 library, which already supports these displays, leveraging Adafruit GFX for better performance.

· 5 pulledSSD1306 is a chip for controlling 128x64 pixel displays. So it is not ideal for handling a display with 72x40 pixels.
Some manufactors did that anyway and it requires some exceptions to work.
The U8g2 library has made these exceptions, but as Adafruit GFX is a bit faster, this library exists.
U8g2 was a great inspiration to get this to work.
Adafruit does not sell any displays with SSD1306 and 72x40 pixels so they have obviously no interest
