0.91" OLED Screen
Jetson Series Main Controller
1. GPIO Pin Diagram
Use a 0.91-inch OLED to test the I2C communication function, and connect according to the following wiring:
Caution: Do not connect incorrectly or cause pin short circuits, as mistakes may lead to damage to the main board hardware!

2. I2C Test
2.1. Install Dependencies
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo pip3 install smbus
sudo pip3 install Adafruit_SSD1306
2.2, I2C Device
During normal development, we need to find the device bus and device address where the I2C device is mounted.
(1) Query the I2C bus
Entering the following command at the end point can list all buses of the device:
i2cdetect -l(2) Query I2C device
Entering the following command at the end point can list the I2C devices under the specified bus: the I2C address corresponding to oled is 0x3c
i2cdetect -y -r *
4. Check IP address and port
Use ifconfig to view IP address and port

Change the code according to the actual port

3. Experimental Effect
Create the Oled_i2c.py file
sudo gedit Oled_i2c.pyCopy and paste the following code
#!/usr/bin/env python3

Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi

1. Turn on the I2C option
Enter the Raspberry Pi system settings, select: Preferences → Raspberry Pi Configuration → Interfaces → Find the I2C option and turn it on, then the system will restart automatically. (Refer to the figure below)
If you are in command mode, you can enter sudo raspi-config to still find the option to enable I2C and then restart the system.


2. Install the I2C library files
sudo apt install -y python3-dev
sudo apt install -y python3-smbus i2c-tools
sudo apt install -y python3-pil
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
sudo apt install -y python3-setuptools
sudo apt install -y python3-rpi.gpio
sudo apt install -y python3-venvI am using Python3 . After installing the I2C library, use the i2cdetect command to check if the display module is recognized
i2cdetect -y 1Indicates that the device has been detected at address "0x3c" (as shown below). The default for this type of device is a hexadecimal address.

3. Font File Configuration
The code uses DejaVuSansMono.ttf font:
sudo apt-get install -y fonts-dejavu-coreor modify the code to use a font already available in the system (such as ImageFont.load_default ())
4. Permission Configuration
Ensure that the I2C device file permissions are correct:
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/i2c-* # Temporary effect, permanent effect requires configuration of udev rules5. Check IP address and port
Use ifconfig to view the actual IP address and port
# (if net-tools is not installed) sudo apt install net-tools
ifconfig
Change the contents of the following two boxed areas in the code according to the actual port

6. Create the Oled_i2c.py file
Create the Oled_i2c.py file in the Home directory
# (if gedit is not installed) sudo apt install gedit
sudo gedit Oled_i2c.pyCopy the following code, paste it into the file, save, and close
#!/usr/bin/env python3
