Course Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to use an OLED with Arduino to play the “Love Me Not” animation.

Note

If this is your first time working with an Arduino project, we recommend downloading and reviewing the basic materials first.

Required Components

In this project, we need the following components:

SN	COMPONENT INTRODUCTION	QUANTITY	PURCHASE LINK
1	Arduino UNO R4 Minima	1	BUY
2	USB Type-C cable	1
3	Breadboard	1	BUY
4	Wires	Several	BUY
5	OLED Display Module	1	BUY

Wiring

Common Connections:

OLED Display Module
- SDA: Connect to SDA on the Arduino.
- SCK: Connect to SCL on the Arduino.
- GND: Connect to GND on the Arduino.
- VCC: Connect to 5V on the Arduino.

Writing the Code

Note

You can copy this code into Arduino IDE.
To install the library, use the Arduino Library Manager and search for Adafruit SSD1306 and Adafruit GFX and install it.
The VideoFrame_R4.h is used here. You can click here VideoFrame_R4.zip to download it.
Then place VideoFrame_R4.h in the same folder as the following code.
Don’t forget to select the board(Arduino UNO R4 Minima) and the correct port before clicking the Upload button.

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#include "VideoFrame_R4.h"

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64
#define OLED_RESET -1
#define OLED_ADDRESS 0x3C

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(
  SCREEN_WIDTH,
  SCREEN_HEIGHT,
  &Wire,
  OLED_RESET
);

unsigned long previousMillis = 0;
int currentFrame = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  Wire.begin();
  Wire.setClock(400000);

  if (!display.begin(
        SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC,
        OLED_ADDRESS
      )) {
    Serial.println("OLED initialization failed!");

    while (true) {
      delay(100);
    }
  }

  Serial.println("OLED initialized!");

  display.clearDisplay();
  display.display();

  previousMillis = millis();
}

void loop() {
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();

  if (
    currentMillis - previousMillis >=
    FRAME_DELAY
  ) {
    previousMillis = currentMillis;

    display.clearDisplay();

    display.drawBitmap(
      0,
      0,
      video_frames[currentFrame],
      SCREEN_WIDTH,
      SCREEN_HEIGHT,
      SSD1306_WHITE
    );

    display.display();

    currentFrame++;

    if (currentFrame >= TOTAL_FRAMES) {
      currentFrame = 0;
    }
  }
}
