Review on πŸ“Ί Compact 0.91 Inch I2C OLED Display Module - 5 Piece Set (White Color) for DC 3.3V~5V by Paul Andrews

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value, works great with TinyPico board

I use these with TinyPico boards with MicroPython and they work great. The screen is bright, very responsive and perfectly legible. It's easy to display animations on it without lag. You can write or edit text pixel by pixel, draw lines or rectangles, fill areas, and scroll. I use it with the MicroPython library, which can be found at stlehmann/micropython-ssd1306 on GitHub. There is also an Arduino library called ssd1306. I'm glad I found it at such a low price! A similar screen is available from Adafruit with the same dimensions, same SSD1306 driver chip, but with SPI communication instead of the more convenient I2C. They sell it for $17.50 for just one screen, more than *five* here. Now I'll add them to most of my projects, it's a much better way to show what's going on than using blinking LEDs.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time
