Adafruit Monochrome 1.54" 128x64 OLED Graphic Display Module Kit

This 1.54" OLED display features 128x64 high-contrast white pixels, producing brilliant visuals without needing a backlight. The SSD1305 driver chip supports 8-bit, I2C, or SPI communication. With a preference for SPI, only 4 or 5 wires are necessary for rapid data exchange. The OLED requires a 3.3V power supply, but includes a breadboard-friendly level shifter for 5V compatibility, making integration seamless with Arduino.

Averages at 50mA consumption from a 3.3V source, this display is energy-efficient. It incorporates a switch-cap charge pump for converting 3.3V into the necessary high voltage for OLED operation. The package includes a 220uF capacitor for enhanced stability with microcontrollers, such as the Arduino. As header pins are not pre-attached, a solderable header is provided. Mode changes from 8-bit to SPI or I2C can be achieved through simple soldering, guided by a detailed tutorial and an Arduino library for quick implementation.

Offering capabilities to display text, bitmaps, and shapes with 512 bytes of RAM, the library ensures swift operations and adaptability across microcontrollers. Note that a microcontroller is essential for functionality, and is not included in the package.
