• GND: Ground connection. Connect to the ground (0V) of your microcontroller.
• VCC: Power supply. Connect to a 3.3V to 5V DC power source from your microcontroller.
• SCL: Serial Clock Line. Connect to the I2C SCL pin of your microcontroller.
• SDA: Serial Data Line. Connect to the I2C SDA pin of your microcontroller.

5.2 Connection Diagram (Example for Arduino/Raspberry Pi)

Below is a general connection diagram. Specific pin assignments on your microcontroller may vary. Consult your microcontroller's documentation for exact I2C pin locations.

Important Note on Reset Circuit: The reset circuit of the SSD1306 needs to be reset at the moment of power on in order to function properly. This is typically handled by the driver library or internal circuitry, but awareness is useful for advanced debugging.

I2C Slave Address: The default I2C slave address is typically 0x3C. If the I2C slave address is D/C# pin (pin 15) to VCC, the I2C slave address will be 0x3D. Refer to the circuit diagram for details.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

To operate the OLED display, you will need to use a compatible library for your chosen microcontroller platform (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi). These libraries handle the low-level communication with the SSD1306 driver IC.

6.1 Software Setup (General Guidance)

1. Install I2C Library: Ensure your microcontroller environment has the necessary I2C communication library installed.
2. Install SSD1306 Library: Download and install an SSD1306-compatible OLED display library. Popular choices include:
   • For Arduino: Adafruit SSD1306 library and Adafruit GFX library.
   • For Raspberry Pi (Python): Luma.OLED library.
3. Exampel codi: Most libraries come with example sketches or scripts. Start with these to verify your connections and display functionality.
4. Inicialitzar la pantalla: In your code, you will typically initialize the display object, specifying the I2C address (usually 0x3C or 0x3D) and the display resolution (128x64).
5. Mostra contingut: Use the library functions to draw text, shapes, or bitmaps on the display. Remember to call a display update function (e.g., display.display() in Adafruit library) to push the buffer content to the physical screen.

6.2 Consum d'energia

The OLED module is designed for ultra-low power consumption. When the full screen is lit, it consumes approximately 0.08W. This makes it suitable for battery-powered projects.

7. Manteniment

The 0.96 inch OLED display module is a robust electronic component, but proper care can extend its lifespan and ensure optimal performance.

• Manipulació: Handle the module by its edges to avoid touching the display surface or the delicate flex cable. Static electricity can damage electronic components, so use anti-static precautions when handling.
• Neteja: If the display surface becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive pressure.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the module in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original anti-static packaging if not in use for extended periods.
• Font d'alimentació: Assegureu-vos sempre que el volum de la font d'alimentaciótage is within the specified 3V to 5V DC range. Incorrect voltagPots danyar el mòdul.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your OLED display module, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• La pantalla no s'il·lumina:
  • Verify all connections (GND, VCC, SCL, SDA) are secure and correctly wired to your microcontroller.
  • Comproveu la font d'alimentació voltage (VCC) to ensure it is within the 3V-5V range.
  • Confirm that your microcontroller is powered on and running the code.
  • Ensure the SSD1306 library is correctly initialized in your code and that the display update function is being called.
• Visualització il·legible o incorrecta:
  • Check the I2C address in your code. The default is usually 0x3C, but it can be 0x3D depending on the D/C# pin configuration (refer to Section 5.2 and the circuit diagram).
  • Ensure the display resolution (128x64) is correctly set in your library initialization.
  • Verify that the SCL and SDA lines are not swapped.
  • Check for any loose connections or shorts on the I2C lines.
• I2C Communication Errors:
  • Use an I2C scanner sketch (available for Arduino) to detect if the module is visible on the I2C bus and to confirm its address.
  • Ensure pull-up resistors are present on the SCL and SDA lines if your microcontroller does not have internal ones or if they are insufficient (many development boards include them).
• Parpelleig de la pantalla:
  • Assegureu-vos d'una font d'alimentació estable.
  • Comproveu la connexió a terra adequada.
