SSD1331 COLOR OLED DISPLAY (96X64 PIXELS) - Arduino tutorial #25

Please note that this tutorial is about the 7-pin SSD1331 Color OLED. You have the monochrome / bi-color SSD SSD1306 as well, which uses 4-pins.

The Arduino for beginners tutorials series guides you through the world of Arduino. A video is around 10 minutes and shows you step-by-step how to build the circuit and write the code. The website contains the course material, circuit diagram, Arduino code and shopping list of all the components used in the tutorial.

Great tutorial. But.... I would really like to see some in depth tuts on how to accomplish other things with these displays. I am new to these, and am having a hard time finding something on things like... how to activate and use the sd card on my ssd 1331 that has a built in slot. Or how to maybe load and use videos on same. Even how to build a proper bit map and use it. These things seem awesome, but there is very little information beyond just loading and staring the demo program. Any help in maybe pointing me in the right direction would be delightful. Thanks a bunch for the video on how to get it going, tho.

Do you have any problems running it I. Portrait mode? When I change the orientation to either 1 or 3, it doesn’t display the full screen. Instead it uses 96 pixels by 64 in portrait mode. This means that a portion of the bottom of the screen is not used as it only goes down as far as 64.

I would assume that maybe changing something in the libraries or the sketch to set it to 64x96 when in portrait mode is necessary but I’m not that advanced yet I’m afraid. I’m self taught by videos like yours and a lot of research so at the moment I am only at the level where I can initialize (boy was it a pain originally) the display and draw shapes, images etc while combing button pushes to display info etc.
I’m not sure how to get it right in portrait mode and any info you may or not be able to give would be well appreciated.

Thank you for all the amazing knowledge you are passing on. Your videos help more than you can imagine.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to use two of these displays with one Arduino....
