I2C OLED example
esp_lcd supports I2C interfaced OLED LCD, whose color depth is usually 1bpp.
This example shows how to make use of the SSD1306 panel driver from esp_lcd component to facilitate the porting of LVGL library. In the end, example will display a scrolling text on the OLED screen. For more information about porting the LVGL library, you can also refer to another lvgl porting example.
How to use the example
Hardware Required
- An ESP development board
- An SSD1306 OLED LCD, with I2C interface
- An USB cable for power supply and programming
Hardware Connection
The connection between ESP Board and the LCD is as follows:
ESP Board OLED LCD (I2C)
+------------------+ +-------------------+
| GND+--------------+GND |
| | | |
| 3V3+--------------+VCC |
| | | |
| SDA+--------------+SDA |
| | | |
| SCL+--------------+SCL |
+------------------+ +-------------------+
The GPIO number used by this example can be changed in lvgl_example_main.c. Please pay attention to the I2C hardware device address as well, you should refer to your module's spec and schematic to determine that address.
Build and Flash
Run idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project. A scrolling text will show up on the LCD as expected.
The first time you run idf.py for the example will cost extra time as the build system needs to address the component dependencies and downloads the missing components from registry into managed_components folder.
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
