Course Saved courses for OLED i2c sh1106 and ssd1306

Baka may tutorial kayo diyan ng buong capabilities in coding OLED using sh1106 and ssd1306 medyo nalilimit kasi ako online paiba iba at putol-putol pinapanood ko. Need lang for thesis. Thank you!

Yes, I can help you with a tutorial on coding OLED displays using the sh1106 and ssd1306 drivers. These OLED displays are widely used and have similar functionalities, so the programming techniques are quite similar for both.

To begin, you will need the following components:

1. OLED display (either sh1106 or ssd1306)
2. Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno or Arduino Nano)
3. Jumper wires
4. Breadboard (optional)

Now, let's go through the steps to set up and program the OLED display:

Step 1: Connect the OLED display to the Arduino board.
- Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V on the Arduino (depending on the OLED display's voltage requirement).
- Connect GND to GND on the Arduino.
- Connect SDA (data line) to the SDA pin on the Arduino (A4 on Arduino Uno, or the dedicated SDA pin on other Arduino boards).
- Connect SCL (clock line) to the SCL pin on the Arduino (A5 on Arduino Uno, or the dedicated SCL pin on other Arduino boards).

Step 2: Install the required libraries.
- Open the Arduino IDE and go to "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Manage Libraries".
- Search for "Adafruit SSD1306" and "Adafruit GFX Library" in the Library Manager.
- Click on the install button for both libraries.

Step 3: Load an example program.
- Go to "File" -> "Examples" -> "Adafruit SSD1306" -> "ssd1306_128x64_spi".
- This example is for the ssd1306 driver, but it can be easily modified for the sh1106 driver.
- The example demonstrates drawing shapes and text on the OLED display.

Step 4: Modify the example for the sh1106 driver (if needed).
- If you are using the sh1106 driver, you need to modify the "Adafruit_SSD1306.h" library.
- Open the library from "Sketch" -> "Include Library" -> "Adafruit SSD1306" -> "Adafruit_SSD1306.h".
- Find the line "#define SSD1306_128_64" and comment it out by adding "//" at the beginning of the line.
- Uncomment the line "#define SH1106_128_64" by removing "//" at the beginning of the line.
- Save the library file and close it.

Step 5: Upload the code to the Arduino.
- Connect the Arduino board to your computer using a USB cable.
- Select the correct board and port from the "Tools" menu in the Arduino IDE.
- Click on the "Upload" button to upload the code to the Arduino board.

Assuming everything is wired correctly, you should now see the example program running on the OLED display.

This is just a basic example to get started with the OLED display. You can explore the Adafruit GFX Library documentation for more advanced features like graphics and animations. Additionally, there are many online resources and tutorials available that provide more in-depth guidance on working with OLED displays and the sh1106/ssd1306 drivers.

I hope this tutorial helps you with your thesis! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
