Get a super - sharp and vivid 1.12 - inch OLED display perfect for adding a compact screen to your project. With a 128x128 pixel monochrome white/black display, it's great for graphing, showing readouts, and displaying basic icons. OLEDs are extremely bright, highly readable, and have excellent contrast. This small - sized display fits well into space - limited projects and is compatible with both Raspberry Pi and Arduino! Just solder on the included right - angle female header, and it easily pops onto your Pi's pins. You can even cut a trace to change the I2C address from 0x3C to 0x3D if you want to use two at once. It's also compatible with our new Breakout Garden, where using breakouts is as easy as popping it into one of the six slots and starting your project. Key features include a 1.12 - inch white OLED display (128x128 pixels), a 20x20mm active area, an I2C interface (address 0x3C/0x3D by cutting trace), 3.3V or 5V compatibility, reverse polarity protection, compatibility with all Raspberry Pi models and Arduino, and a Python library. The kit includes a 1.12 - inch OLED display breakout, a 1x5 male header, and a 1x5 female right - angle header. This breakout board is designed to be soldered with the right - angle female header and then popped onto the bottom - left 5 pins of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). We recommend the Luma Python library to drive this OLED display. You can find full documentation for it online. To start, install the latest library from GitHub, grab the examples repository, and run an example. Note that our software doesn't support Raspbian Wheezy. The display dimensions are 28x42.1mm.
Using this 1.12 - inch OLED breakout is easy. First, take the included right - angle female header and solder it onto the breakout board. Then, you can simply pop the board onto the bottom - left 5 pins of your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). If you want to use two displays at the same time, you can cut the trace to change the I2C address from 0x3C to 0x3D. For the software part, we suggest using the Luma Python library. You can install it directly from GitHub using the command provided. After that, grab the examples repository and run an example to see the display in action. Just remember that our software doesn't work with Raspbian Wheezy. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to handle the display gently as it's a delicate device. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Also, be careful with the soldering process to prevent any damage to the board.
