Add "Digital Multi-Source Merger" component

Add "SSD1331 OLED Display (SPI)" component

Add "TFT Color Display ST7735/ST7789" component

Select "Display1" component and in the properties window select Type: dtST7789_240_240


  • Double click on the "DisplayOLED1" component and in the Elements window Drag "Draw Text" to the Left Side and in the Properties window set size to 3 and text to: SPI1
  • Close the Elements window
  • Double click on the "Display1" component and in the Elements window Drag "Draw Text" to the Left Side and in the Properties window set size to 3 and text to: SPI2
  • Close the Elements window

  • Connect "DisplayOLED1" pin [Reset] to Arduino digital pin[5]
  • Connect "DisplayOLED1" pin [Data Command] to to DigitalMultiMerger1 pin [0]
  • Connect "DisplayOLED1" pin [Out SPI] to Arduino pin[SPI In]
  • Connect "DisplayOLED1" pin [Chip Select] to Arduino digital pin[7]

  • Connect Display1 pin Out SPI to Arduino board pin SPI In
  • Connect Display1 pin Reset to Arduino board digital pin 9
  • Connect Display1 pin Register Select to DigitalMultiMerger1 pin [1]
  • Connect DigitalMultiMerger1 pin [Out] to Arduino board digital pin 8

Generate, Compile, and Upload the Arduino Code
