OLED is an Organic Light Emitting Diodes. OLED is a flat emitting technology based screen. OLEDs are emissive display that does not require a backlight, so are thinner and more efficient and LCD display which require a white backlight. OLED display are not just thin and efficient, they provide the best image quality ever as LED and LCD and they can also be made transparent, foldable, flexible and even roll able and stretchable in the figure.

The slave address is 0b011110SA0R\/W where SA0 bit provide an extension bit for slave address. Either \u20180111100\u2019 or \u20180111101\u2019 can be selected as slave address of SSD1306. Here bit7 C0 determines the continuation and bit6 D\/C represent data or command. D\/C = 1 \u2013 Data mode and D\/C = 0 \u2013 Command mode. So for command mode 0x80 and for data mode 0x40.

From the pixel pattern, it has been shown that for 128×64 size OLED has 0-7 pages and 0-127 columns available. For 128×32 size OLED has 0-3 pages and 0-127 columns. If we want to write character of 8×8 pixel mapping then we have 0-7 pages or 8 lines. Let\u2019s print a logo of 128*8piel bitmap, since a picture is nothing but a set of pixel bitmap.

So the function is simple, just send the pixel bitmap into the OLED-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the characters are writing into the OLED? Since it has 8 pages the pages are write in sequentially. Let\u2019s look at page 2 for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
There are 3 different memory addressing mode in SSD1306: page addressing mode, horizontal addressing mode and vertical addressing mode. We use the page addressing mode. In normal display data RAM read or write and page addressing mode, the following steps are required to define the starting RAM access pointer location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
So the pixel location user defined function as follow-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
void setXY(unsigned char row,unsigned char col) -> (x,y) coordinate<\/p>\n\n\n
\nvoid setXY(unsigned char row,unsigned char col)\n{\n  sendcommand(0xb0+row);                \/\/set page address\n  sendcommand(0x00+(8*col&0x0f));       \/\/set low col address\n  sendcommand(0x10+((8*col>>4)&0x0f));  \/\/set high col address\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Since the OLED has no build in ASCII character. So we have to make our own character for display ASCII character. Let use 8×8 size character, so to display \u2018B\u2019 which is ASCII 0x42 is-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Similarly other character can be generated. Build your own front with big or small as you want. Now we have the \u2018B\u2019 character, but how to write in exact location you want? Use the following function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
void OLCD_write_string(int X, int Y, char *string) -> String write function<\/p>\n\n\n
\nconst uint8_t myFont[8] PROGMEM = { 0x00, 0x7F, 0x49, 0x49, 0x49, 0x00, 0x00}\nvoid OLCD_write_string(int X, int Y, char *string)\n{\n  setXY(X,Y);\n  unsigned char i=0;\n  while(*string)\n  {\n    for(i=0;i<8;i++)\n    {\n      SendChar(pgm_read_byte(myFont[*string-0x20]+i));\n    }\n    *string++;\n  }\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
To clear display just sends 0 to all pixels and according to bitmap pattern you can write any shape or image into the OLED. We have written a simple program to display some logo and string into the display. The code is written in ATmega328p just download and connect SDA to SDA and SCL to SCL pin, VCC and ground as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
