Arduino – Print Text to OLED Screen

OLED Screens are great ways to display text from your Arduino Projects. You can change Font Sizes, positions and much more.

Libraries Required for this Demonstration:

Adafruit SSD1306
Adafruit GFX

Note: Remember to change the I2C address within the example sketch.

Functional Parts in the Project:

Arduino Uno – https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-uno-rev3
128 x 64 OLED – https://amzn.to/2Mc8Fz2
560 Piece Jumper Wire Kit – https://amzn.to/2MsCLjL

#define OLED_WIDTH 128
#define OLED_HEIGHT 64

#define OLED_ADDR   0x3C
