arduino oled . Hello there! Fellow electronics enthusiasts, I am quite sure we all make some or other projects, as a part of our learning experience and academics. and So We sure would want to display some data present on our micro-controllers, from sensors or simply display some message. therefore here is a quick tutorial about OLED displays, in which we will learn how to wire and program a 0.96inch OLED Display with Arduino Microcontroller. and so follow up this instructable to understand and display your own Message on a OLED Display.

Step 1: Watch the Video ( arduino oled)

Step 2: Gather the Material

therefore for this Tutorial, we will require only 3 things.

1. 0.96″ OLED Display

2. and we will need Arduino Uno / Nano

3. Connecting Wires

Step 3: Wiring

and Since this OLED works on I2C Communication, we have to connect

only 4 pins to Arduino

OLED has Sck (i.e. clock), SDA (i.e. Data) and Power pins i.e VCC and Ground.

On the Arduino UNO Board, we have SDA at A4 and SCK at A5.

Connections for OLED to Arduino

  • Vcc – 5V
  • Gnd – Gnd
  • SDA – A4
  • SCK – A5

Step 4: I2C Scanner

arduino oled.

and since we know that each I2C device has different Hexadecimal Address.

since this OLED uses I2C Communication protocol, we have to find the I2C address for the display.

this could be done by uploading the following code onto your board with the device connected.

#include < wire.h>

void setup()

{ Serial.begin (115200); while (!Serial) { }

Serial.println (); Serial.println (“I2C scanner. Scanning …”); byte count = 0; pinMode(13,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); Wire.begin(); for (byte i = 1; i < 120; i++) { Wire.beginTransmission (i); if (Wire.endTransmission () == 0) { Serial.print (“Found address: “); Serial.print (i, DEC); Serial. print (” (0x”); Serial.print (i, HEX); Serial.println (“)”); count++; delay (1); } } Serial.println (“Done.”); Serial.print (“Found “); Serial.print (count, DEC); Serial.println (” device(s).”); }

void loop() {}

Step 5: Download and Include Libraries

arduino oled. and you will need to include the following libraries into your IDE before staring the code.

and you can include these libraries by following the steps.

  1. go to Sketch menu.
  2. select Include Libraries.
  3. and go to Manage Libraries.
  4. search for ADAFRUIT GFX and INSTALL it.
  5. search for ADAFRUIT SSD1306 and INSTALL it.

else, you can install it externally using the following link.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306

Step 6: Testing the Display

and so to check if everything works as expected, lets run an example file to test the display.

steps

  • go FILE > EXAMPLES > SSD 1306 > Select 128 X 64 i2c
  • if you get and Error, try SSD 1306 > Select 128 X 32 i2c
  • and change the I2C Address on line 61 and replace it with the address you found in step 4.
  • upload the code

and once uploaded, you will see the test animation on the screen, which means you have successfully set up the oled.

Step 7: Write Your Own Message

to write our own message(arduino oled),

and so now we will first open a new sketch on IDE,

then Include these 4 Libraries in the header

#include <spi.h>
#include <wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

, then we will write the Reset Protocol.

#define OLED_RESET 4<br>Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

Now, in VOID SETUP, we will Begin the display and Clear it

also, here we have ( 0 x3C ) as hexadecimal I2C Address, so change it as shown in step 4

display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);
display.clearDisplay();

so In Void Loop, we will write our Main Code i.e. the message we want to display

and For which, will need to Describe the TEXT size, TEXT color, Cursor Position and then finally write the Message using println command

display.setTextSize(2);
display.setTextColor(WHITE);
display.setCursor(0,0);
display.println("Subscribe Now! ");      / here the message is inside the ""

Don’t forget to write display.display else we will get a blank screen.

display.display();

ans so If you followed up properly, this is how the output of the following code should look like.

.

.

.

the entire code is as
