OLED with arduino?

Question

I recently bought a 0.96" Serial OLED Screen. I am not very experienced with this. I'm trying to display some text with the Arduino Uno. I installed the adafruit SSD1306 and GFX libraries but no luck. I've looked for tutorials for similar screens, but my screen has extra pins that others don't.

Mine has: CS DC RST D1 D0 VCC GND, others only have 4.

I don't know what each pin should be connected to. Does any one know how to get this to work? Is there a different library that I could use with this screen?

Answer 1

Yes, certain OLED screens do have different pinouts. For yours, the following would be your OLED's pinouts.

OLED ---- Arduino
D0-----------10
D1-----------9
RST----------13
DC-----------11
VCC----------5V
GND----------GND

The CS pin does not need to be plugged in.

As for the code, you can use this include from Smart Prototyping as an extra file, then have some simple code in your loop portion:

void loop()
{
LED_P8x16Str(23,0,"here is");
LED_P8x16Str(40,2,"example");
LED_P8x16Str(20,4,"text");
}
