PiOLED

  • PiOLED is a small 128x32 in a small formfactor board designed to sit on top of just the first six pins of the Pis Header
  • It uses I2c which therefore means there are plenty of spare pins for buttons LEDs and sensors.
  • The OLED display has a very high contrast ratio leading to clear and crisp text and images.
  • As the display produces its own light this also means the PiOLED is super low power.
  • The SSD1306 chipset is easily controlled using a simple python library.
  • The display is about 1”diagonal and allows for 30FPS updates rates allowing for simple animations
