Overview

SSD1306 0.96" I2C OLED Display​

Looking to add visuals to your Arduino projects? The I2C OLED breakout board is perfect for that. Thanks to its high contrast, you'll be in awe of its crisp visuals! The display is composed of hundreds of LEDs, with each representing one pixel in a 128×64 grid. Thus, it doesn't require a backlight, and it uses less power than classic LCD screens. That’s 8192 pixels, all individually lit at your fingertips!

It is straightforward to use because it communicates via I2C with a hardware-defined address of 0x3C and is designed for seamless Qwiic (formerly easyC) connectivity.
