Review:

Beautiful I2C OLED display module with SMD and PAD pins for DIY projects. It is easy to solder it onto the experiment PCB or the PCB you design. Driver IC is SSD1306. Compatible with 5V / 3.3V MCU.

Summary:

This is an OLED monochrome 128x64 dot-matrix display module with an I2C interface. Comparing to LCD, OLED screens are way more competitive, which has a number of advantages such as high brightness, self-emission, high contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, wide temperature range, and low power consumption.

You can solder it onto experiment PCB or your own design PCB easily with the help of the SMD pins.

Features:

• Can use it directly to display characters, graphics

• Compatibility: Because the logic level is 3.3V-5V compatible, it is compatible with Arduino boards (Uno R3 / Nano / Mega 2560 / Leonardo) and other 5V or 3.3V MCUs

• Interface: I2C

• Logic level: 5V or 3.3V (onboard 3.3V level converter circuit)

• Resolution: 128*64

• Angle of view: about 160 degree

• Display color: Yellow and blue, white, blue

• Display dimension: 0.96inch

• Driver IC: SSD1306

• Operating voltage: 3.2 – 5.5V

• IO Port Package: Both SMD and PAD are available, and the pin pitch is 2.54mm.

• Application: Smartwatch, MP3, thermometer, instruments, DIY projects, etc.

Step 2: Install Hardware

With the help of the test fixture, you do not have to solder the pin header to test it. Of course, you can solder.

You can connect the OLED module to OPEN-SMART UNO R3 board, according to the following table:

Step 3: Upload Sketch

Plug the USB cable into your PC and the board.

Open the democode \arduino-1.6.5-r2\libraries\Adafruit_SSD1306\examples\ssd1306_128x64_i2c

Then select board type: Arduino/Genuino Uno

And then select the write COM number for the board.

From there, click upload button to upload the code to the board.

Now you can enjoy the OLED!
