Arduino Due and OLED display example

This example uses an OLED display these typically come in a couple of different sizes 128×32 and 128×64, this particular example will use the I2C connection from the Micro:bit to the display. There are a couple of libraries that make life easier.

Lets look at a typical oled display

These will come in useful for various projects for example displaying the date and time or maybe temperature readings from a sensor

Connection

This layout shows a 128×32 connected to the Arduino Due, 128×64 I2C devices would be the same

Code

This example uses the https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306/archive/master.zip and https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library/archive/master.zip , theer are several built in examples. I have modified one just to display text as further examples will write text to a display

#include <SPI.h>

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

void setup()   
{                  
  Serial.begin(9600);   
  display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);  // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3C (for the 128x32)  // init done  
  display.clearDisplay();  // text display tests  
  display.setTextSize(1);  
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);  
  display.setCursor(0,0);  
  display.println("Hello, world!");  
  display.setTextColor(BLACK, WHITE); // &#039;inverted&#039; text  
  display.println(3.141592);  
  display.setTextSize(2);  
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);  
  display.print("0x");   
  display.println(0xDEADBEEF, HEX);  
  display.display();  
  display.clearDisplay();
}
  
void loop() 
{  
}
