I bought it for Raspberry Pi Pico, and it takes a little effort to make it work for that platform. I'm using CircuitPython. Some notes:
- It's monochrome.
- I2C address is 0x3c
- Use the adafruit_displayio_sh1106 library.
- The sh1106 driver has a 132x64 buffer, but the LCD is 128x64. If the WIDTH is set to 128, you will have artifacts on sides of the screen. BUT if you set it to 132, the screen will be cropped slightly at the sides.
- So libraries like terminalio work, but will crop a couple pixels off the left side.
- Due to that fact, it's best to explicitly set graphic object location (like- text_obj.x = 30).
- The display.brighness can be set to two levels (bright and less bright). The dim setting can be set with something like: display.brightness = 0.01
- Other Adafruit libraries like adafruit_display_shapes also work.
Here's a very simple code snippet that works on the Pico. The pin defs are in the comments. Put the libraries in the /lib folder on CIRCUITPY. Demo uses these two libraries:
- adafruit_display_text
- adafruit_displayio_sh1106

Yes, it's a SSH1106, so for Arduino you need to use a library like U8g2, but all you need to do to run the examples is hook up +5V (or 3.3V) power and ground, SDA, SCL to the hardware I2C uart on your device, select SSH1106 HW I2C in the commented out device list, delete any pin outputs for the u8g2 developer's boards... And change the u8g2.begin() (in setup) to:
u8g2.setI2Caddress(0x078);
u8g2.begin();
u8g2.setPowerSave(0);
And the demos will work. If you are using the text only library then substitute u8x8 for the u8g2 above. If you are trying to use it on an Uno or Nano you probably will want to use the text version as there isn't much RAM left for anything useful with the graphics version on these devices.
I have used SSI1306s on Raspberry Pis before and I think most of the libraries also support this chip on that platform so the downsides are minimal to non-existant. You will likely get the SSH1106 version just be prepared for that.
It's a nice display, reasonably priced and quick to get from Amazon.
I t is still small but noticeably larger than your typical 0.96" display with a SSI1306.

I've never been disappointed by Hiletgo.
The application is a network connected nodeMCU day/time/temp application. The original display was I2C based .91 inch 128x32 OLED. While .91 inch display was $12 for 3, and the Hiletgo is $12 for one, the extra display size is well worth it to me.
The esp8266 app reads a local DHT sensor. It makes a URL request to pull temperatures from esp8266 devices at several other locations. It rotates displaying the temperatures vertically on the far right. A pattern of 2 dots indicate which temperature is being present.

Bigger display was an easy "drop in"

This was a pin for pin drop in replacement. It required no code change. It is rotated 90 degrees from the screen it replaces. So what :)Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023
