Connection diagram

1. Connections are given as per circuit diagram.

2. Connect 3.3V supply pin 1 from raspberry pi board to Vcc pin of the OLED display.
3. Connect ground pin 6 from the raspberry pi board to Gnd of the OLED display.
4. Connect pin 3 from the raspberry pi board to SDA on the OLED display.
5. Connect pin 5 from the raspberry pi board to SCL on the OLED display.

Procedure for accessing raspberry pi through PC.

1. Open Putty on your desktop.

2. Enter the ip address of the raspberry pi.
3. Select the connection type SSH and press open.
4. Raspberry pi is connected through Putty terminal.
5. Enter default user name : pi
6. Enter default password: raspberry
7. Configuration setup is done if needed.

import Adafruit_SSD1306

from PIL import Image

from PIL import ImageDraw

from PIL import ImageFont

# Raspberry Pi pin configuration:

RST = 24

# Note the following are only used with SPI:

DC = 23

SPI_PORT = 0

# Beaglebone Black pin configuration:

# RST = 'P9_12'

# Note the following are only used with SPI:

# DC = 'P9_15'

# SPI_PORT = 1

# SPI_DEVICE = 0
# 128x32 display with hardware I2C:

disp = Adafruit_SSD1306.SSD1306_128_32(rst=RST)

# Initialize library.

disp.begin()

# Clear display.

disp.clear()

disp.display()

# Create blank image for drawing.

# Make sure to create image with mode '1' for 1-bit color.

width = disp.width

height = disp.height

image = Image.new('1', (width, height))

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)

padding = 2

shape_width = 20

top = padding

bottom = height-padding

# Move left to right keeping track of the current x position for drawing shapes.

x = padding

# Load default font.

font = ImageFont.load_default()

draw.text((x+30, top+30), 'Hello World', font=font, fill=255,)

# Display image.

disp.image(image)

disp.display()
