Review on SSD1306 Display Module 128X32 Arduino by Greg Lockhart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some useful information about computers and accessories

The resolution is currently listed as 128x32. Of course it's actually 64x32. Photos correspond to reality. Currently the description says "The IIC address is subject to change." This is a complete misconception: there are no jumpers on the board to change the address and there is no way to do it through i2c . Upon arrival, the display I received was behaving a little oddly: it kept skipping every other line. This results in a vertical stretching effect (I'm using the Adafruit SSD1306 library for Arduino). I can't rule out the possibility that it's a software issue, but from discussions online this seems to be a common hardware defect for SSD1306 displays. Edit: The interlacing seems to have been a software issue. My screen worked fine with the u8g2 library.

Pros
  • Small but good quality --- This is a 0.49 inch OLED display with a resolution of 128 x 32 in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of an organic compound containing emits light in response to electric current
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
