FeatherWing of the Day: Adafruit FeatherWing OLED – 128×64 OLED Add-on For Feather #WingOfTheDay

The Adafruit Feather ecosystem is so rich with hardware diversity, we wanted to share them, one each day. Today is the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED – 128×64 OLED Add-on For Feather!

This is the FeatherWing 128×64 OLED: it adds a gorgeous 128×64 monochrome OLED plus 3 user buttons to any Feather main board. Using our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top of your Feather board and let the board take flight!

These displays are small, only about 1.3″ diagonal, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This screen is made of 128×64 individual white OLED pixels and because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness! We also toss on a reset button and three mini tactile buttons called A B and C, so you can add a mini user interface to your feather. If you’ve used our 128×32 OLED FeatherWing, you’ll be happy to know that this FeatherWing is pin compatible for a quick and easy upgrade. Note that you will need new code since the OLED driver is SH1107 not SSD1306.

The display uses only I2C so you can easily connect it up with just two pins used (plus reset, power and ground!). There’s a reset button on the top. We’ve even included a SparkFun qwiic-compatible STEMMA QT connector for the I2C bus so you can plug and play any of our STEMMA QT, qwiic or Grove I2C sensors and device peripherals! Please note that you cannot use this Wing itself as a STEMMA peripheral with only a STEMMA cable connected, it is meant only to be used as a FeatherWing, with all pins soldered & plugged/connected to the Feather driver.
