Discover the power of the 1.3 inch OLED display module and its seamless integration with Arduino. With its impressive features and cutting-edge technology, this display promises to enhance your user experience. Learn how to interface this display module with Arduino using simple steps and bring your projects to life.
Features
OLED displays are high contrast, high-resolution and low-power displays, so they provide a good quality for users. There is no backlight on OLED, and it uses independent-illuminated pixels. So it is thinner, and more elegant in compare to LCDs. The driver chip is SH1106, which provides I2C communication.
You can download the datasheet of this module here.
1.3 INCH OLED Display Pinout
This module has 4 pins:
- VCC: Module power supply – 5V
- GND: Ground
- SCL: I2C clock
- SDA: I2C data
You can see the pinout of this module in the image below.

Please give me code for esp8266
I am using D1 amd D2 pins for sda and scl… And also i attached 2 ultrasonic sensor 2 buzzer one relay to the pins D3 ,4,5,6,7,8, tx for these comp
Hello,
This code is also compatible with ESP8266. To ensure that the wiring is correct, you can utilize an I2CScanner to verify if the OLED address is detected correctly.
