Descriptions

SSD1315 is a single-chip CMOS OLED/PLED driver with controller for organic/polymer light emitting diode dot-matrix graphic display system. It consists of 128 segments and 64 commons. This IC is designed for Common Cathode type OLED/PLED panel.

SSD1315 displays data directly from its internal 128 x 64 bits Graphic Display Data RAM (GDDRAM). Data/Commands are sent from general MCU through the hardware selectable I2C Interface, 6800-/8080- series compatible Parallel Interface or Serial Peripheral Interface.

The 256 steps contrast control and oscillator which embedded in SSD1315 reduces the number of external components. SSD1315 is suitable for portable applications requiring a compact size and high output brightness, such as set-top box, car audio, wearable electronics, etc.

How to program it

Raspberry Pi

• Connect OLED display to Raspberry Pi GPIO as following Chart:

OLED	Raspberry Pi GPIO
GND	GND
VCC	3.3V
SCL	GPIO 3 (I2C1 SCL)
SDA	GPIO 2 (I2C1 SDA)

• Full GPIO position

NOTE: We assume you are using the official operating system provided by the Raspberry Pi.

• Enable I2C function, open a terminal and typing:

 sudo raspi-config 

• Navigate to interface options and i2c item, enable it.

• Check if the OLED screen has been recognized.

 i2cdetect -y 1 

• Install dependencies libraries:

sudo apt -y install python3 python3-pip python3-pil libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5

• Grant privilleges to user `pi`

sudo usermod -a -G gpio,i2c pi

• Download sample code from this repo:

git clone https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git
cd luma.examples/

• Install the dependencies

sudo -H pip3 install -e .

• Entering into example folder and test it.

cd examples/
sudo python3 animated_gif.py

• You should seen this screen on OLED
