Summary of Low cost OLED module interface using PIC18F452

This article details a low-cost 1.1-inch OLED module interface designed for PIC microcontrollers, specifically the PIC18F452. The system utilizes an OSRAM Pictiva OLED with an onboard SSD1303 controller, requiring only 8 wires for operation and consuming under 25mA at 3V. The project includes downloadable Eagle PCB layouts, schematics, and CCS C source code to facilitate integration.

Parts used in the Low Cost OLED Module Interface:

OSRAM Pictiva 1.1 inch OLED (Model OS096064PN11MY0B10)
SSD1303 On-board LCD Controller
PIC18F452 Microcontroller
Molex Miniature Connector
Eagle PCB Layout (File: 043 - 004.brd)
Eagle Schematics (File: 043 - 004.sch)
CCS C Source Code (File: 043_v02.zip)
Hex File (File: 043_v02.hex)

Here are the technical specifications:

OLED resolution: 96 x 64 pixels
OLED manufacturer: OSRAM.
OLED model: Pictiva 1.1 inch OS096064PN11MY0B10 (San Diego.)
On-board lcd controller SSD1303, with 31 pins connector, can be soldered directly.
Low power operation (less than 15-25mA @3V, depending on contrast/brightness setting)
Fast serial interface (only 8 wires needed)
Molex miniature connector.
OLED: dimensions: 34 x 24 mm (without flexible ribbon)
PCB interface: Dimensions: 29 x 22 mm

This OLED modules can be bought in our online shop. You'll need the interface described below and a PIC microcontroller to get the OLED module running.

Here's a short movie showing a working module (flickering is due to the camera and the movie's software compression.)
