Grove OLED Display 0.96inch

Grove - OLED Display 0.96" module is an OLED monochrome 128×64dot matrix display module with Grove 4pin I2C Interface.Comparing to LCD, OLED screens are more competitive, which has a number of advantages such as high brightness, self-emission, high contrast ratio, slim / thin outline, wide viewing angle, wide temperature range, and low power consumption. It has bigger screen so that it can display more contents than the OLED 96×96.

Features

Grove compatible interface
Communicate Mode:I2C
Low power consumption
Display Color: White
Wide range of operating temperature:-20℃~70℃

Platforms Supported

Getting Started

With Arduino

Connection

The OLED128*64 uses all the pins of SSD1308 chip, the default original point is on the top left corner. You can also change the original point by adjusting the program and in order to display your desired patterns. For more details, please refer SSD1308_1.0.pdf and LY190-128064.pdf.

Here we demonstrate how to display "Hello World" on the screen.

First of all, We need to prepare the below stuffs:

Seeeduino V4

Grove - OLED Display 0.96inch

Base Shield

Get ONE Now

Plug the Grove OLED Display 128*64 onto the I2C port on Grove Base Shield, and then plug the Base Shield into Seeeduino;

Software

Download Seeed OLED Display 128*64 library
Please follow how to install an arduino library procedures to install library.
Open the code directly by the path: File -> Example ->OLED_Display_128X64-master->OLED_Hello_World.

#include <Wire.h>
#include <SeeedOLED.h>


void setup()
{
  Wire.begin();
  SeeedOled.init();  //initialze SEEED OLED display

  SeeedOled.clearDisplay();          //clear the screen and set start position to top left corner
  SeeedOled.setNormalDisplay();      //Set display to normal mode (i.e non-inverse mode)
  SeeedOled.setPageMode();           //Set addressing mode to Page Mode
  SeeedOled.setTextXY(0,0);          //Set the cursor to Xth Page, Yth Column  
  SeeedOled.putString("Hello World!"); //Print the String

}

void loop()
{

}

Upload the code.
We can see "hello world" on screen.

Step3: Save the file by clicking the disk icon with with the .py extension.

Step4: Connect Grove - OLED to Grove I2C socket on BBG.

Step5: Run the code. We'll find that the Grove - OLED outputs "Hello World".
