This is a little demo using a SPI 0.96" oled display (it should support I2C too without problems).
This is the one I used: https://www.adafruit.com/product/326
It uses the Adafruit_Python_SSD1306 Library, designed for these displays.
- Make sure you get an API key for the weather: https://darksky.net/dev/docs
- Make sure you read the Raspberry PI 3 SPI pinout: https://pinout.xyz/pinout/spi (or I2C if you used that). I used the SPI0 port, GPIO 25 for RESET and GPIO 24 for DC.
Depending on what oled board you use, your pins might have different names. Took me a while to get mine to work. Maybe these little charts will help you:
| OLED Pin | Name | Remarks | RPi Pin | RPi Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | +3.3V Power | P01-17 | 3V3 |
| 2 | GND | Ground | P01-20 | GND |
| 3 | D0 | Clock | P01-23 | GPIO 11 (SCLK) |
| 4 | D1 | MOSI | P01-19 | GPIO 10 (MOSI) |
| 5 | RST | Reset | P01-22 | GPIO 25 |
| 6 | DC | Data/Command | P01-18 | GPIO 24 |
| 7 | CS | Chip Select | P01-24 | GPIO 8 (CE0) |
| Pin | Alternate Names | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply | |
| GND | Ground | |
| D0 | SCL,CLK,SCK | Clock |
| D1 | SDA,MOSI | Data |
| RES | RST,RESET | Rest |
| DC | A0 | Data/Command |
| CS | Chip Select |
