OLED Display SSD1306 Pin Wiring
Because the OLED display uses I2C communication protocol, wiring is very simple. You can use the following table as a reference.
| Pin | ESP32 |
| Vin | 3.3V |
| GND | GND |
| SCL | GPIO 22 |
| SDA | GPIO 21 |
Alternatively, you can follow the next schematic diagram to wire the ESP32 to the OLED display.
In this example, we’re using I2C communication protocol. The most suitable pins for I2C communication in the ESP32 are GPIO 22 (SCL) and GPIO 21 (SDA).
If you’re using an OLED display with SPI communication protocol, use the following GPIOs.
- GPIO 18: CLK
- GPIO 19: MISO
- GPIO 23: MOSI
- GPIO 5: CS
Installing SSD1306 OLED Library – ESP32
There are several libraries available to control the OLED display with the ESP32. In this tutorial we’ll use two Adafruit libraries: Adafruit_SSD1306 library and Adafruit_GFX library.
Follow the next steps to install those libraries.
1. Open your Arduino IDE and go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries. The Library Manager should open.
2. Type “SSD1306” in the search box and install the SSD1306 library from Adafruit.
3. After installing the SSD1306 library from Adafruit, type “GFX” in the search box and install the library.
4. After installing the libraries, restart your Arduino IDE.
We’ll program the ESP32 using Arduino IDE, so you must have the ESP32 add-on installed in your Arduino IDE. If you haven’t, follow the next tutorial first:
- Install the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE (Windows instructions)
- Install the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE (Mac OS X and Linux instructions)

This is an example for our Monochrome OLEDs based on SSD1306 drivers. Pick one up today in the adafruit shop! ------> http://www.adafruit.com/category/63_98
This example is for a 128x32 pixel display using I2C to communicate 3 pins are required to interface (two I2C and one reset).
