How to mount an OLED directly onto a PCB
A commonly used display for Arduino projects is the 0.96″ 128×64 SSD1306 OLED display module. Using it in practice can present problems….
Using the TM1637 LED Tube display
Using this nice 4-digit display with your Arduino Although the more-graphical displays are terrific (and some are cheap to buy too) , sometimes your application doesn’t need the added coding complexity. And for some projects, a “traditional” 7-segment display is simply a better choice for the project at hand – for example, clocks, GPS speedometers, […]
Solving the OLED Display mounting problem
