cd libssd1306/
sudo make
cd example/
sudo make
sudo ./oled_demo -o 2
if you need help, you can just use this command:
sudo ./oled_demo -h


FAQ

  • Question: why does it not show anything that I've tried as your instruction?
    • Answer: Please make sure you have already open your i2c function and you can use this command to detect whether it has been turned on already.
