Introduction: How to Make an OLED Shield for Raspberry Pi & Arduino
This small OLED shield can be used directely with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The shield contains a OLED display to show measured values, status messages etc. and 3 buttons & 3 leds to control your program or add a menu to your project. It needs only 4 cables and two GPIO ports to communicate via I2C with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The pcb is very small and fits perfectely in an optional din rain enclosure.
Step 1: Tools & Materials
We offer this shield as DIY kit, but it is very simple - you can create it by your self too if you want.
Tools:
- soldering iron with small tip
