“I'm using the OLED as a system monitor on a small robot, replacing an existing, larger OLED that didn't have very much contrast. It just happens to use the same Luma library so I already had the code ready for it. The 1.12" is slightly smaller but the text is brighter and a bit clearer.
OLEDs can be kinda noisy on an I2C bus so I've moved mine over to bus 0 on the Raspberry Pi. I used one of those Breakout Garden female sockets soldered to a scrap of Perma-Proto board so that I didn't have to solder pins to the board. You can see that in the photo.
Works great!”
“Nice display. Bright and crisp. Bigger than most OLEDs (which tend to be only 128x64). Pretty quick, too, despite having an I2C rather than an SPI interface. Using this from C++ from a Pi Pico works well.”
Sorry to hear that - if you have time to drop us a quick email at support@pimoroni.com to let us know what you found impractical we'd appreciate the feedback!
