Oled Display Programing
Oled is the simplest and effective display. You can make wearables or any kind of monitoring device. using OLED you can make the weather station or you can display funny animation. I search many DIY articles on OLED display there is not a proper explanation on it. So in this article, we are going to program OLED in the simplest way.
Material Requires
Arduino UNO * 1
Oled Display * 1
jumper wires
Breadboard * 1
Programing cable * 1
Connection
There are many kinds of Oled available in the market but they are basically communicating on Serial or I2C protocol.
Pin name may differ so I am providing a table according to it you can connect them.
I use this table from circuitdigest.com
They have a very detailed explanation for intermediate or expert. If you are a beginner then just connect your OLED according to table and move to next step.
Library Installation
Open your Arduino ide software if you don't have, check my website www.electronicsmith.com I explain in detail how to download and install Arduino software in 2 steps.
Press ctrl+shift+i in serch bare write
adafruit ssd1306
install the first option
Upload Code
We are going to install the example code.
open
file > example > Adafruit SSD1306 > ssd1306_128x64_spi
Connect your Arduino UNO and upload the code.
A demo animation start on your OLED display
You can make a wearable smartwatch, a weather station or desktop clock, etc...
