First steps arduino and waveshare display

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi and Hello together, first of all sorry about my english. I try my best :).

I want to start my first project by using a arduino UNO R3 and the waveshare 1.5inch OLED Module, 128x128. I want to show several different contents. By using a button, a switch, I want to change from content to content.

Case one
Case one668×182 13.7 KB

Case two
Case two676×172 15.9 KB

Examples (see also appendix):

  1. Analog Value from two Batteries, in two lines

  2. Calculated capacity and a counter which counts hours and minutes, in two lines

Now the background of my questions. I had several informations from data sheets and forums and be a little bit confused. I read about a lot of problems by using the configuration (see above). The eyes have problems to show something on the display, or the function is not stable. I guess, first of all, this is a question of which driver ist to use and how ist initialization, the configuration between Ardunio UNO R3 and the waveshare display.

I fingert out that there are two versions of this display. A 1.5inch OLED Module, with the driver SSD1327 and the 1.5inch OLED Module (B), with the driver SH1107.

My questions:

  1. Which version is stable and suitable for my project?
  2. What is the right way to do the communication, the configuration between the Arduino UNO R3 and the display?
  3. Are this the right libraries? Adafruit_SSD1327 and Adafruit_GFX for the first version. Arduino-Library U8g2 for the one with the driver SH1107.
  4. What is important to think about (hardware and software).

In this state of my project I want to purchase, to choose the right hardware.

It would be great if some one could help. Thank you very much for this :slight_smile:
