0.96 OLED with strange pinout

Post by pythonist » Sat Apr 07, 2018 8:40 am

Hi guys,

I purchased an 0.96" oled display from ebay. Sadly I didn't check if the pinout is a normal one. So now when I checked it, it seems that it's quite an strange one.

- So it doesn't have a RESET pin;
- From the shape of VCC pin, it seems more like a GND one.

How can I connect it to a ESP board? Can I use it in IIC or SPI Mode without a reset pin? Or is there a reset pin but it's mislabeled?

Thank you for your help!

I would think that the reset pin is permanently connected in power on mode and can't be used to reset.

The little 0.96 OLED screen that I have doesn't even have the SPI pins broken out like yours and it just has 4 pins : 3.3v, GND, data(SDA), SCL
