Pi Hole Ad Blocker with Pi Zero W

Zap away ads using an ad-blocking custom DNS mini server

This project will turn your Raspberry Pi Zero W into an ad-blocking local DNS server with Pi Hole. When it is asked for the IP address of ads.adserver.com (for example) it will return nothing! So you will never even connect to the ad server and get the ad. Your connection will be faster, less data, and no intrusive ads. It works great on computers, tablets, phones, etc. Even if you cannot run an ad-blocker plugin on your phone or tablet, this will work and ad-blocker-detectors can't tell you're running it.

Adafruit 128x64 OLED Bonnet for Raspberry Pi

A little monochrome OLED bonnet for yer Pi

If you'd like a compact display, with buttons and a joystick - we've got what you're looking for. The Adafruit 128x64 OLED Bonnet for Raspberry Pi is the big sister to our mini PiOLED add-on. This version has 128x64 pixels (instead of 128x32) and a much larger screen besides. With the OLED display in the center, we had some space on either side so we added a 5-way joystick and two pushbuttons. Great for when you want to have a control interface for your project.

Adafruit PiOLED - 128x32 Mini OLED for Raspberry Pi

The most compact lil' display for a Raspberry Pi

The Adafruit PiOLED is your little OLED pal, ready to snap onto any and all Raspberry Pi computers, to give you a little display. The PiOLED comes with a monochrome 128x32 OLED, with sharp white pixels. The OLED uses only the I2C pins so you have plenty of GPIO connections available for buttons, LEDs, sensors, etc. It's also nice and compact so it will fit into any case.

MAC Address Finder

Quickly find the MAC address on devices where doing so isn't so easy.

In most situations finding the MAC address of a wireless device is fairly straightforward. However, there are some things like smart TVs, IOT devices, gaming consoles, etc. that either don't display that MAC or have it hidden in a mess of on-screen menus. This device broadcasts a wireless network without a password. Connect any wireless device to it and once the connection is made the MAC address of the device will be displayed on the small OLED screen.

1.5" & 2.1" Monochrome 128x64 OLED Display Module

Ready-to-go monochrome OLED modules with 128x64 white pixels

If you've been diggin' our monochome OLEDs but need something bigger, this display will delight you! These displays are 1.5" and 2.4" diagonal, and very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This display is made of 128x64 individual white OLED pixels, each one turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this graphic display for its crispness!

SSD1306 OLED Displays with Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black

Add a beautiful, bright OLED display to your Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black project!

Using the SSD1306 Python library you can connect a 128x64 or 128x32 pixel OLED display to your Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black.

Adafruit OLED Displays for Raspberry Pi

Here is how to use an Adafruit monochrome OLED display with your Raspberry Pi. What can I say? Good things come in small packages!

Miniature displays are great fun... The possibilities are truly endless. Need to show information? Want to view images? Then this guide is perfect for you! In this tutorial I will show you how to use one of Adafruit's fantastic monochrome OLED displays with your Raspberry Pi.

Adafruit 1.27" and 1.5" Color OLED Breakout Board

Big, bright colorful OLED

These big, bright displays measures 1.27" or 1.5" diagonal and have 128x96 or 128x128 RGB pixels. The OLED display technology gives you vivid, high contrast images and does not require a backlight. With16-bit resolution for each pixel, you can display a wide range of colors. The SSD1351 driver chip has a 4-wire SPI interface. We also include an on-board boost converter and built-in level shifting for compatibility with both 3.3v and 5v microcontrollers. A micro SD card holder lets you store bitmaps and other data. Our library includes example code to show you how!

Monochrome OLED Breakouts

Using our small mono-OLED displays

This is a quick tutorial for our 128x64 and 128x32 pixel monochrome OLED displays. These displays are small, only about 1" diameter, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. Each OLED display is made of 128x64 or 128x32 individual white OLEDs, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness!

0.96" mini Color OLED

Mini color OLED displays

Our 0.96" color OLED displays are perfect when you need an ultra-small display with vivid, high-contrast 16-bit color. The visible portion of the OLED measures 0.96" diagonal and contains 96x64 RGB pixels, each one made of red, green and blue OLEDs. Each pixel can be set with 16-bits of resolution for a large range of colors. Because the display uses OLEDs, there is no backlight, and the contrast is very high (black is really black). We picked this display for its excellent color, this is the nicest mini OLED we could find. This guide will show you how to hook it up and use it with an Arduino.
