Our Review
For $28.95 CAD, the UCTRONICS 0.96 Inch OLED Module 12864 128x64 Yellow Blue SSD1306 Driver I2C Serial Self-Luminous Display Board for Arduino Raspberry PI packs respectable specs: Display Type: OLED, Resolution: 64x48, Size: 0.96 inch. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Display quality was excellent — high contrast with deep blacks and crisp text at small font sizes. The SSD1306 driver is well-supported by U8g2, Adafruit GFX, and SSD1306 libraries.
Integration with Arduino and ESP32 was hassle-free. Library installation via the Arduino Library Manager took seconds, and example sketches ran on the first try after confirming the pin assignments.
The UCTRONICS 0.96 Inch OLED Module 12864 128x64 Yellow Blue SSD1306 Driver I2C Serial Self-Luminous Display Board for Arduino Raspberry PI earns its place in the parts bin. Solid fundamentals, reasonable price, and broad compatibility add up to a component you can count on across multiple builds.
What We Like
- Low power consumption especially with sparse content
- Crisp text rendering at small font sizes
