Display connection 

I2C O-LED to FETtec FC F7  

 

I2C O-LED display can be used to show the OSD menu and telemetry in order to be able to set 
up settings without computer or FPV goggles (FPV OSD). 

 

The I2C connection will block serial 3 which is mostly used for digital OSD or analog VTX 
control (VCS). 

The O-LED must be connected on power up to initialize but can be unplugged after set up is 
done. 

 

Supported display types: 

 

 

 

Required resolution 128 x 64px 

We recommend the 1,3” (SSH1106) version as the text size will be very small on the 0,96” 
(SSD1306) display.
