Arduino oled Animation

OBJECTIVE

The objective is to create an animation on an OLED display that visually represents a sun, using a sequence of frames to simulate motion or radiance.

MODULES REQUIRED

  • Arduino uno
  • SSD1306 oled display

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

Schematic diagram showing an Arduino connected to an LED and a push button.

SCHEMATIC CONNECTION

Connect OLED :

  • Connect the VCC pin of the OLED display to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
  • Connect the GND pin of the OLED display to the GND pin on the Arduino .
  • Connect the SDA pin of the OLED display to the A4 pin on the Arduino
  • Connect the SCL pin of the OLED display to the A5 pin on the Arduino

    INSTRUCTIONS

  • Assemble the circuit by connecting all components as shown in the schematic diagram.
  • On the left side of the screen, open sketch.ino and write your Arduino code.
  • After completing the circuit and writing the code, click the green Play button to start the simulation.
  • To create an OLED animation of a sun, design multiple frames of the sun with varying rays or brightness, then program the Arduino to cycle through these frames to simulate motion or radiance on the display.

    • WORKING PRINCIPLE

  • this project animates a sun on an OLED by cycling through pixel-based frames with varying rays, using the Adafruit_SSD1306 library over I2C.

    • Project Link

    for your reference.
