SSD1306

Rene van der Meer designed this breakout board for a bare OLED display:

SSD1306 1.3″ OLED SPI breakout board

I’ve been playing with cheap OLED display breakouts for years, incorporating complete boards into my projects – an easy, but bulky solution. Now that I’ve had some practice designing circuits and PCBs, it’s time for my next challenge: soldering the display FPCs directly to my own boards.

I designed this board to try out a minimal circuit before integrating it into any larger projects, and to figure out the best way to solder flexible circuits to my boards. Since all of my new microcontroller-powered board designs only require 3.3 V, I haven’t added any 5 V tolerant level shifting. What’s left is a bare minimum circuit to drive a Solomon Systech SSD1306 using SPI at 3.3 V.

Ilya Titov created this adorable, tiny keychain arcade kit:

ATtiny Arcade is a little game made using Atmel Attiny85 microcontroller and an OLED screen. The kit is a great hobby project that requires assembly with a soldering iron.
