1.27 RGB OLED Display Module (128×96, 262K Colours)

This OLED display might be small at just 1.27′, but the folks at Waveshare have managed to pack a 128×96 resolution into the panel, along with 262K colours.

This makes it great for making a tiny data display, and unlike traditional greyscale/one-colour OLEDs, you can use pretty much any colours you like to bring that information to life – be it from a weather API, 3D printer status, robotics feedback or any other data you want to throw at it.

The module uses an SSD1351 driver with SPI for communication (4-wire by default). This minimises your pin usage, keeping your GPIO for sensors and other components you want to feed this display with.

The package comes with a matching 7-pin cable with female header ends, ready to plug into your microcontroller’s GPIO pins. Demo code is provided for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Note: the display ships with 4-wire SPI mode enabled by default. Changing the mode to 3-wire SPI requires careful desoldering and movement of the small SMT resistors on the rear (not for beginners!).
