Unable to utilise oled-js  #131

I'm unable to render text on the screen. For some reason, my code appears to not clear the screen properly and finish the rendering.

const five = require('johnny-five');

const board = new five.Board();

const Oled = require('oled-js');

const font = require('oled-font-5x7');

board.on('ready', function () {
  const opts = {
    width: 128,
    height: 64,
    address: 0x3C
  };

  const oled = new Oled(board, five, opts);
  oled.clearDisplay();
  oled.setCursor(1, 1);
  oled.writeString(font, 1, 'Cats and dogs are really cool animals, you know.', 1, true, 2, true);
  oled.update();
})

I used this code and confirmed the LCD works fine but when I run the StandardFirmataPlus on the board and execute the above JS code this is what I end up with – the Hello World doesn't seem to get cleared and the text seems cut off as if the screen dimensions are smaller than 128x64.

Can someone say what I'm doing wrong?
