This repository shows how to connect a 128×64 SSD1306 OLED display with the STM32F446RE microcontroller. By using I2C and HAL drivers in STM32CubeIDE, you can easily set up and run your own OLED display projects. This guide helps you take each step toward a successful setup, even if you have no prior coding experience.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
-
Hardware Needed:
- STM32F446RE board
- SSD1306 OLED display
- Jumper wires
-
Software Required:
- STM32CubeIDE
- STM32CubeMX for configuration
