CircuitPython Wiring

M. LeBlanc-Williams

It's easy to use OLEDs with CircuitPython and the Adafruit CircuitPython DisplayIO SSD1306 module.  This module allows you to easily write CircuitPython code to control the display.

You can use this sensor with any CircuitPython microcontroller board.

We'll cover how to wire the OLED to your CircuitPython microcontroller board. First assemble your OLED.

Connect the OLED to your microcontroller board as shown below.

Adafruit OLED FeatherWing
  • Solder the Feather with female headers on top or stacking headers.
  • Attach the OLED FeatherWing using the stacking method.

Adafruit 128x32 I2C OLED Display
  • Microcontroller 3V to OLED VIN
  • Microcontroller GND to OLED GND
  • Microcontroller SCL to OLED SCL
  • Microcontroller SDA to OLED SDA
  • Microcontroller D9 to OLED RST

Adafruit 128x32 SPI OLED Display
  • Microcontroller 3V to OLED VIN
  • Microcontroller GND to OLED GND
  • Microcontroller SCK to OLED CLK
  • Microcontroller MOSI to OLED Data
  • Microcontroller D5 to OLED CS
  • Microcontroller D6 to OLED D/C
  • Microcontroller D9 to OLED RST

Adafruit 0.96" or 1.3" 128x64 OLED Display - I2C Wiring

You must solder two jumpers closed on the back of the display to use with I2C!
