Create an OLED Raspberry Pi Monitor

ANY RASPBERRY PI

Plus an I2C OLED screen (128x 64 pixels), and four female-tofemale jumper wires.

THE CODE

Download it from http://bit.ly/lxf254i2c.

THIS HANDY PROJECT results in a tiny OLED screen that provides useful data about a Raspberry Pi at a glance. We can also run our project on boot to monitor the system as we work.

The OLED screen connects to the Raspberry Pi GPIO using an I2C interface. This is a special interface that only needs four pins on the Pi in order to send data. To connect your Pi, please refer to the diagram below [Image A].
