Connecting a display module to common development boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 involves different steps based on the type of display (LCD, OLED, TFT, etc.) and the communication protocol (I2C, SPI, parallel, etc.). Below are detailed instructions for connecting a typical I2C OLED display to these boards.
Connecting an I2C OLED Display Module
- Arduino
Components Needed:
- Arduino board (e.g., Uno, Mega)
- I2C OLED display module
- Jumper wires
Connections:
- VCC to 5V (or 3.3V if the display supports it)
- GND to GND
- SDA to A4 (on Uno) or appropriate SDA pin
- SCL to A5 (on Uno) or appropriate SCL pin
- Raspberry Pi
Components Needed:
- Raspberry Pi (any model with GPIO pins)
- I2C OLED display module
- Jumper wires
Connections:
- VCC to 3.3V (or 5V if the display supports it)
- GND to GND
- SDA to GPIO 2 (pin 3)
- SCL to GPIO 3 (pin 5)
- ESP32
Components Needed:
- ESP32 board
- I2C OLED display module
- Jumper wires
Connections:
- VCC to 3.3V (or 5V if the display supports it)
- GND to GND
- SDA to GPIO 21 (or any other configurable I2C pin)
- SCL to GPIO 22 (or any other configurable I2C pin)
Summary
- Arduino: Use the Wire library and appropriate pins (A4, A5 on Uno).
- Raspberry Pi: Enable I2C in raspi-config, connect to GPIO 2 (SDA) and GPIO 3 (SCL), and use the Adafruit SSD1306 library in Python.
- ESP32: Use the Wire library with configurable I2C pins (usually GPIO 21 for SDA and GPIO 22 for SCL).
Make sure to check the specifications of your display module for voltage compatibility and any specific initialization requirements.
