Veml6075 addafruit board + oled

The code below works but if i add the following statement to the void(loop) it fails.

Serial.println(uv.readUVA());

Error is

SSD1306 allocation failed.

It stays in a permanent loop after that and the screen does not initialise

/**************************************************************************
 This is an example for our Monochrome OLEDs based on SSD1306 drivers

 This example is for a 128x64 pixel display using I2C to communicate
 3 pins are required to interface (two I2C and one reset).

Try it on a board with more RAM, or look for some RAM savings

TVM
Works fine on a Mega.

Your setup function has a little scope for RAM saving, by better use of the F() macro - that may just tip the balance.
