Disappointing OLED Display for Raspberry Pi Pico

Using this product our team found that the display quality was underwhelming... While it was easy to connect to the Raspberry Pi Pico, the payoff was not worth it. The contrast of the display was poor, making it difficult to read. Additionally, we experienced compatibility issues with certain programs..

Pros
  • Easy connection to Raspberry Pi Pico
Cons
  • Poor display quality, compatibility issues.

Amazing OLED Display for Raspberry Pi

This OLED display is a great addition to any Raspberry Pi project! The resolution is crisp and clear, and the display size is perfect for small-scale projects. The build quality and materials used are also superb, making it well worth the investment. However, it may not be compatible with other single-board computers, limiting its usefulness to only users of Raspberry Pi. Overall, a fantastic product for those who want to enhance their Raspberry Pi experience..

Pros
  • Reliable and easy-to-use OLED display screen specifically designed for Raspberry Pi Pico.
Cons
  • May require some soldering skills during installation.

That does not work. in Single Board Computers

Does not work on MicroPython. The description is deceptive - it implies that the driver is built-in. I couldn't find the SSD1305 library in MicroPython. I tried using SSD1306 and I2C1 as silkscreen suggests but still couldn't get it to work. Shame as I love the size and compatibility with the Pico.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Long time
