6 wire spi OLED pinout help needed

I have a 0.96" OLED that has 6 pins. I have seen I2C versions with 4 pins and spi versions with seven pins; I haven't (previously) seen one with six pins. There isn't a reset pin so I don't know how to connect it to a Nano or Uno. The pins on the module are:
VCC
GND
CLK
MOSI
CS
D/C

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello CyberBob

Post a picture of the display.

Hello bob
good day.
please check this project, I feel this could help you.

Hello Markus

Thank you for your reply

The link that you sent is for a seven pin module with a reset pin. Mine is a six pin module without a reset pin.

Thanks

Hello Bob,
If you have no reset pin then no problem.
Connct the 6 like in project and check if the example is working fine.

Posting a link to the technical information on the part helps us help you.

Sorry, I don't have any technical information on the part

I would contact your vendor and ask for it or next pick a vendor that supplies the needed information.

Try do what @mascho11 tells you.

I have tried following the article that was referenced above. The pins in the article are connected thus:

GND GND
VCC VCC
D0 13
D1 11
RES 9
DC 8
CS 10

I connected an UNO as below but there was no response.

VCC VCC
GND GND
CLK 13
MOSI 11
CS 10
D/C 8

I switched pins 10 and 11 around but I still didn't get any response

What library do you use, and what does setup() look like?

Explain why would you do that?

Here are the first few lines of the sketch:

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

Ok, now show what

void setup () looks like.

Sorry everyone. I changed the pins to what was defined in the example sketch from the Arduino IDE and everything works!

Again, accept my apologies for wasting your time.

Here's the pin-out scheme that works:

|VCC|VCC|
|GND|GND|
|CLK|10|
|MOSI|9|
|CS|12|
|D/C|11|

Cheers
