SSD1306XLED

This library is the driver for SSD1306, SSD1315 and SSH1106 based OLED screens. The original implementation is from Neven Boyanov, Tinusaur Team.

There were some compatibility issues with the I2C implementation of original ssd1306xled which I resolved by using the implementation from TinyI2C by David Johnson-Davies.

This library is tested on Attiny85 and some Chinese OLED screens based on these drivers.

Installation

  • PlatformIO: pio lib install "ssd1306xled" or visit library page
  • Arduino IDE: open library manager (Tools > Manage library) and search for ssd1306xled and install
  • Manual: Download the latest release here

How to use the code

  • Hello world code
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ssd1306xled.h>

void setup() {
    _delay_ms(40);
    SSD1306.ssd1306_init();
}

void run() {
    SSD1306.ssd1306_fillscreen(0);
    SSD1306.ssd1306_setpos(0, 1);
    SSD1306.ssd1306_string_font6x8("Hello world!");
}
