Guide for screen connection?


#1

Hi guys, I got the axoloti and the axocontrol and as I am not an electronics guru, I kind of need some help following guides (as comprehensive as possible) before I can get the hang of things.

Has anyone got a layman friendly guide to connecting up an OLED (or two) to the board?

Thanks but I did read this post, I got very confused... I really need a "for dummies" approach.


#4

I have no clue about soldering. I have just ordered 5 of the displays. From what I could read in the thread you need to solder about 3 wires and maybe a resistor or 2. I think I can do that :slight_smile: I hope.... :slight_smile:

If you would be so kind as to document how you did everything I would be very grateful :slight_smile:


#6

I just ordered 5 of these, 1.3" white, i2C :slight_smile: Will keep you updated :wink:


#7

Anyway, I am also lost when it comes ot hardware wiring and stuf flike that. But I read the thread a few times took some notes and now I feel pretty confident about it. It will work.... I hope :slight_smile:

If it works I'll definitely be doing it myself, then having the fun of designing an enclosure for the guts :confused:


#9

For enclosure I found some empty 19" 2 unit racks where I think I can fit 6 Axolotis in. I only have to drill some holes and thats it. Simple and effective :slight_smile:

So nex tis going to be the rack and then I got everything :slight_smile:

Ok now you have an audience. Look forward to blow by blow account with photos :smirk:


#11

Following the information in the other thread, I have 2 working OLEDs hooked up as so:

the above post is the beginning of the conversation about how to connect the display. if you go to this thread you will find very good explanations for everything from which pins to use and how to the object to use.

@Ludopathic hey mate where did u get ur axocontrol from? was sold out everywhere last time i checked


#14

Thonk.co.uk was where I bought it.


#15

Yay, got my 5 1.3" displays and my 10k resistors today :slight_smile:

The resistors are supposed to be 10k, as suggested.

Anyway, now all parts are in house, next I think its time to read the other thread a few times, so I can get comfy with the practical side of this project.

Looking forward to seeing how this works out :slight_smile:
