FireBeetle_Covers-OLED12864_Display_SKU__DFR0507-DFRobot

Introduction

DFRobot FireBeetle firefly series is low-power development component designed for the IoT. This FireBeetle covers display module is equipped with 128x64 resolution OLED and new version of SSD1360 driver, uses I2C interface, supports for the Arduino library and microPython, fully compatible with the Gravity I2C OLED-2864 screen. OLED screen has a protective frame to protect the screen, it prevents the finger from being scratched on the edge of the glass. The OLED 12864 display module also integrates the GT30L24A3W Chinese / foreign font library chip and the BMA220 three-axis accelerometer. In addition, the FireBeetle Covers-OLED12864 display features an analog directional key and two independent digital keys A and B.
