Connect the RGB OLED Display
- [Instructor] In this session, I'll walk through the process of connecting and testing the 1.5 inch RGB OLED. This OLED, or OLED for short, looks like this. There is a display with several colored wires. If there isn't a display, it isn't the correct part. I've included a handout in the example files with a table instructing how to connect the OLED to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. Here's a snapshot from that handout. Don't remove the BME 280 from your breadboard. The OLED will connect just fine alongside of it. In fact, note that the MOSI, voltage, ground, and clock signal lines are shared between the two integrated circuits. You'll also note that the chip select or chip enable is on a different pin than the chip select for the BME 280. Each SPI device uses a private chip select pin to determine which device gets to control the data bus. You may also note there isn't a MISO connection. MISO stands for master in, slave out. Since…
