Raspberry Pi Pico Color OLED (SSD1331) display tutorial using CircuitPython.

Raspberry Pi Pico Color OLED (SSD1331) display tutorial using CircuitPython.

In this video I am going to show you how to connect this 1” Color OLED display to a Raspberry Pi Pico board. I will also show you how to use it with CircuitPython and I will share with you 3 useful projects to help you get started and save you a lot of time.
This Color OLED display is one of my favourite displays of all time. I have used it in some Arduino projects in the past and I really like it. The advantages of this display are the following.

It is a color display that uses the OLED technology which means it has a very high contrast ratio, a wide viewing angle, and a very low power consumption.

The disadvantages of this display is that it is small in size, it is just 1” inch in diagonal and it is a bit more expensive than other displays. It costs around $10.

The display has a resolution of 96x64 pixels, it supports 16bit color, and it uses the SPI interface to communicate with the microcontroller. The connection to the Raspberry Pi Pico board is very easy. All we have to do is to connect power and 5 more wires.

How to get this to work with a the 7735 display.

Hello,

A video request.

Can you try Tinyduino which is the smallest esp8266 board with module attachments like display, gps, battery pack which stack up and still look so small. Its not open source hence it's tough to get handson it.

Hello, can I use the ssd1331 library for the ssd1357? Will i just need to change my height and width?

[matthewfelgate]

Do you have the links to the libraries needed for this?

i get the error IndexError: Tile index out of bounds

i tried to put it in the pico's storage but it does'nt work (its says that, "no module named 'board' ") .
in the 1602 lcd i2c i save the library file in the pico through the thonny ide, but here the file type is'nt python (py), it's (mpy).
please explain what to do.
