Review on HiLetgo 0 Computer Components by Doug Bundy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good OLED display that only needs 4 wires

This review refers to HiLetgo 0.96 inch I2C OLED display. First of all I have to say that this is a nice little display and it is easy to use. In general I like the I2C device as it only requires 4-wire connections including the power connections (i.e. VCC and GND). This makes wiring very easy and eliminates unnecessary cable clutter. SDA and SCL are I2C signal pins. In my case I am using my ESP8266 D1 to drive this OLED. As software I used Adafruit ssd1306 oled drivers. After installing the library from the library manager, I was good to go. Another thing I also need to know is the address of the OLED display. In this case the I2C address was 0x3C. If the address wasn't sure, there are examples of I2C scanners on the internet. You can download one of them and use it to scan the address. Overall, I like this device and I can only recommend it.

Pros
  • 0.96 inch SSD1306 128x64 OLED display with I2C serial number IIC SPI
Cons
  • Not all fit
