arduino oled i2c tutorial : 0.96' 128 X 32 for beginners

in this video, we will learn how to wire and code a 0.96" 128 X 32 / 128 X 64 OLED display using I2C or SPI communication.
by the end of this video, you will be able to write your own message and code the OLED display using an Arduino Microcontroller.

Thanks for the tutorial!

Please note that on your instructables pages you have written "wire.h" instead of "Wire.h" and "spi.h" instead of "SPI.h". Arduino will not recognize if you don't write with capital leters

[letsbnameless]

every other channel fails to mention copying the address into the library code, you're a lifesaver my man

[harshraj]

This has got to be the most elaborated tutorial with extremely accurate English . Unlike other channels...you really ARE underrated. I loved your tutorial

[geekyfreak]

simplest tutorial so far, i think this is absolutely ideal for beginners ! great job.

[BellowsSqueezer]

Thanks. This tutorial is just what I needed which was reduce an example to the bare bones.👍

[mnj]

This is a very well briefed explanation...awesome...

Hi. Is it possible to adjust Code that is set for oled to one that fits a Lcd? Which libraries other than liquidcrystal can be used?

[askiny]

did everything as instructed, but the display still remained black.
also the i2c scanner didn't find anything
any way to fix that? I checked comments already, but none of them worked

[MakerVerse]

To fix the 128x32 resolution and force it to work in 128x64 start the library as follow:


#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width, in pixels
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height, in pixels

#define OLED_RESET 4 // Reset pin # (or -1 if sharing Arduino reset pin)
#define SCREEN_ADDRESS 0x3C ///< See datasheet for Address; 0x3D for 128x64, 0x3C for 128x32
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);

I’m new to Arduino.... I want to make a fuel gauge using a .96 Oled 2 color how do you ode to make a bargraph that responds to the fuel level and show the E, 1/2, F increments on the yellow portion of the screen? I’m also using a fuel level sender, with one wire.

[ronamaerecalde]

Hello ! I want to ask what condition should I use if I want to automatically turn off the OLED display if it is not used for a minute using u8g Library thank you

[Duskenxd]

Hey! BTW if your display displays a kind of static (black and white dots) its not broken! Id recommend using SH1106 instead of SSD 1306.

[karthiprem]

Can you print the display without the arduino or store the script in a smaller device to make like a custom watch or something?

[Amboss]

Hello, i bought an OLED with 128x128 pixels and its i2c too (somehow). well i downloaded the librarys and tried everything as usual, cz i have a little xp with oled 128x64. But i dont know why i have a black screen, code is right, adress is right and most probably the librarys are wrong. Could you please give me an advice, what librarys to use for 128x128 oleds 12c. Thanx.

[lucadebs]

What if I want to use it with stm32? Do you have a tutorial for it? What library I need to install?

[oneill]

But what happens when your wire the setup correctly, run the code to check for the I2C address and in the serial monitor it only says "I2C Scannrer, Scanning..." but nothing happens afterwards? (btw I had the same results when I tried to find the address of my LCD panel's I2C address)

[goodieteabag]

The ic2 address finder sketch seems to have put my Nano in an endless loop. The internal led flashes constantly and i can't upload to it anymore. Any idea how to fix it?

[mateoslab]

thank you very much for this, where can i find a documentation?
