OLED Display
The OLED Display project uses an Arduino Mega and an SSD1306 OLED display to showcase various information such as text messages, elapsed time, and analog input values. The SSD1306 OLED display communicates with the Arduino via I2C protocol. This project initializes the OLED display, prints initial messages, and updates the display in the loop with new information.
Components Needed
- Arduino Mega
- SSD1306 OLED Display
- Wire (for I2C communication)
- Jumper Wires
- Breadboard
- Power Supply

Circuit Setup
Connect the OLED Display to Arduino Mega:
Instructions
Circuit Setup:
Connect the OLED display module to the Arduino Mega as per the circuit setup section.
Library Installation:
Install the required libraries:
- Adafruit GFX Library
- Adafruit SSD1306 Library
Code Upload:
Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
Install the necessary libraries if not already installed.
Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.
Testing:
Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud) to monitor any serial output.
Observe the OLED display for messages, elapsed time, and analog input values updated every second.
Applications
Notes
Ensure the OLED display is correctly connected to the Arduino Mega with the correct I2C pins (SCL, SDA).
Adjust the code to display specific sensor data or system status as per project requirements.
