In this example we’ll learn how to use the OLED library. This library is used for interfacing the ORbit16™ with UG-2864 OLED display, based upon SSD1306 controller. Library and demo are the same for PIC24F and PIC32MX. Library works with both C30 and C32 compilers. Demo has 2 different projects: for PIC24FJ64GB002 and for PIC32MX250F128B. Main is the same, the selection of the compiler is made using #if defined (__C30__) and #if defined (__C32__).

Here is a video of the demo:

Connections are made by reading the oled.h file. In particular you must connect the display IOs as showed here (left: display IO, right: ORbit16™ IO):

1. 3V3 to 3.3V
2. GND to GND
3. CS to GND (Chip select)
4. RS to RA0 (Register Select, AKA Data/Command)
5. RES to RA1 (Reset)
6. D0/SCLK to RB0 (Serial Clock)
7. D1/SDIN to RB1 (Serial Data In, AKA MOSI)

Please read the documents you’ll find in the OLED library page.

Note: This example is made with the version 1.0 of the OLED library. Please refer to OLED library page for the latest version of the library.
