Photon OLED Shield Hookup Guide
Introduction
Want your Photon projects to display sensor readings, play pong, or draw
little doodles? The Photon OLED Shield might be the perfect fit, and we’re
going to show you how to use it.
If the OLED screen in the picture above looks familiar, it’s probably
because we use the same component in our Microview and Micro OLED
Breakout products, as well as the OLED Block for the Edison. We love it for
it’s combination of small footprint yet surprisingly clear graphics – the
screen itself is 0.66" across, with a display area measuring 64 pixels wide
by 48 pixels tall.
Please Note: All SparkFun shields for the Photon are also compatible
with the Core from Particle. The WKP, DAC and VBT pins on the
Photon will be labeled A7, A6 and 3V3*, respectively, on the Core, but
will not alter the functionality of any of the Shields.
Covered in this Tutorial
This tutorial will cover the functionality of the OLED shield, how to hook it
up in your project, and how to program with it using the SparkFun Micro
OLED Library.
