Raspberry Pi Pico OLED (SSD1306) display tutorial using CircuitPython
In this video I am going to show you how to connect this 1” OLED display with a Raspberry Pi Pico board. I will also show you how to use it with CircuitPython and I will share with you 3 useful projects to help you get started and save you a lot of time. Let’s start.
This OLED display is one of my favourite displays of all time. I have used it in many Arduino projects in the past and I really like it because it is inexpensive, it costs around $4, it is very easy to use, it has low power consumption, and it has great contrast.
The display has a resolution of 128x64 pixels, it is monochrome, and it uses the I2C interface to communicate with the microcontroller. The connection with the Raspberry Pi Pico board is very easy. All we have to do is to connect power and 2 more wires.
