CircuitPython library for SSD1306 OLED displays.

Project description

Introduction

Documentation Status Discord Build Status Code Style: Ruff

Adafruit CircuitPython driver for SSD1306 or SSD1305 OLED displays. Note that SSD1305 displays are back compatible so they can be used in-place of SSD1306 with the same code and commands.

This driver implements the adafruit_framebuf interface. It is not the displayio driver for the SSD1306. See the Adafruit CircuitPython DisplayIO SSD1306 driver for displayio support.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306

Usage Example

# Basic example of clearing and drawing pixels on a SSD1306 OLED display.
# This example and library is meant to work with Adafruit CircuitPython API.
# Author: Tony DiCola
# License: Public Domain

# Import all board pins.
from board import SCL, SDA
import busio

# Import the SSD1306 module.
import adafruit_ssd1306


# Create the I2C interface.
i2c = busio.I2C(SCL, SDA)

# Create the SSD1306 OLED class.
# The first two parameters are the pixel width and pixel height.  Change these
# to the right size for your display!
display = adafruit_ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 32, i2c)
# Alternatively you can change the I2C address of the device with an addr parameter:
#display = adafruit_ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 32, i2c, addr=0x31)

# Clear the display.  Always call show after changing pixels to make the display
# update visible!
display.fill(0)

display.show()

# Set a pixel in the origin 0,0 position.
display.pixel(0, 0, 1)
# Set a pixel in the middle 64, 16 position.
display.pixel(64, 16, 1)
# Set a pixel in the opposite 127, 31 position.
display.pixel(127, 31, 1)
display.show()

More examples and details can be found in the adafruit_framebuf docs.
