STEP1:
Plug the Crowtail-Motor Base Shield
onto the Arduino or Crowduino board.
Hardware Connection
STEP2:
Connect Crowtail-OLED to A4&A5 port
of Crowtail-Motor Base Shield. The complete
connection is as follows.
Open the downloaded folder “Crowtail Deluxe Kit
for Arduino demo code”, navigate to the folder “lib”,
and add “U8glib” folder to the Arduino library. Open
the
P08_Show_Text_On_OLED
with Arduino IDE
and upload it.
You can see a larger "Elecrow" LOGO in the middle of the OLED and a smaller "www.elecrow.com"
URL in the lower half of the OLED.
What will you see
1. Import the OLED library and create an instance of OLED.
2. Create a function to draw a big logo.
3. Create a function to draw the URL.
4. Call the function we created to show the Text.
Code overview
Crowtail- OLED is constructed from the 128 x 64 dot-matrix
OLED module. The display offers high brightness, self-emission,
high contrast ratio, slim/thin outline, wide viewing angle, wide
temperature range and low power consumption. You can almost
display anything with this OLED module, such as text and
pictures! This kind of OLED is very suitable to use in your project
which needs a small display to show data or pictures.
In this lesson, we will learn how to display text using OLED. Then let's use this tiny display at the door
of the company as a company's electronic business card, but a little different from ordinary business
cards is that you can modify it when you have any new ideas!
