Circuit Diagram

Follow the circuit diagram for making connection. I make this circuit in Easy EDA software.

<<<<< Arduino - OLED >>>>>

5V ----- VCC

GND ----- GND

A4 ----- SDA

A5 ----- SCL

Code

Arduino Code

C/C++
To Run OLED Display first we need to Install Some Libraries In Arduino IDE.

To Download above Libraries go through this steps.

open (Arduino IDE) > Sketch > Include Library >Manager Library > Search For Above Library & Install it.

Simply Copy the following code & upload in your Arduino IDE software.
