Good OLED display that only needs 4 wires

This review refers to the HiLetgo I2C 0.96 inch OLED display. First of all I have to say that this is a nice little display and it is easy to use. 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 confusion. SDA and SCL are I2C signal pins. In my case I am using my ESP8266 D1 to drive this OLED. For the software I used Adafruit's ssd1306 oled driver. After installing the library from the library manager, I was ready 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 an I2C scanner from around the web. You can download one of them and use it to scan the address. Overall, I am delighted with this device and can only recommend it.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • unreliable
