Kitronik VIEW Graphics128 OLED Display Board for BBC micro:bit

The Kitronik VIEW Graphics128 OLED Display Board is a monochrome 128 x 64 pixel display board designed specifically for the BBC micro:bit.

Overview

The board adds a clear, low-power OLED screen to micro:bit projects without the need for tools, fixings, or soldering. The on-board edge connector allows the micro:bit to slot directly into the board, making assembly quick and simple. A micro:bit style I/O connector is also included, allowing the board to be plugged into other micro:bit accessories that have a slot for inserting a micro:bit. All of the micro:bit pins are tracked through to the edge pads, so full access to the micro:bit's features is retained alongside the display.

Programming

The display can be coded using MakeCode blocks, and Kitronik provides custom MakeCode blocks for simplified use. For more advanced users, Kitronik has also created custom Python functions for a wider range of coding possibilities.

Power and Configuration

• The board can be powered via the edge connector or directly from the micro:bit, requiring a 3V supply.
• A power indicator LED shows when the board is active.
• The default I2C address can be changed, which suits projects that use multiple I2C devices.
