Fritzing

The ESP8266 OLED (I2C) using Arduino Code.

• 

This project is a standalone OLED display using the I2C (two wire) protocol. The cool thing is that it uses 100% ported ESP8266 Arduino code.

 

That means you can just dump the code in the ESP8266 with your Arduino IDE and voila! Working like a champ.

 

Imagine all the cool things you can stream to the screen!

 

Instructions: 

1. After flashing code, solder ESP8266 pins to perfboard as usual. 

2. Run a strip of solder across the back of the perfboard for ~3.6V and another for Common Ground. 

3. Connect OLED SDA port to GPIO0 and SCL port to GPIO2.

4. Connect the Li-Po to VCC and common ground - and voila!

 

I couldn't find a fritzing model for the cheap OLED I bought from China for ~$4, but you can get them here: http://goo.gl/RRGMU9
