## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR0650:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR0650:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This 0.96” OLED display module uses the SSD1306 drive chip, has 128x64 self-illuminating white pixels, and adopts two communication methods: SPI/ I2C, I2C in default. With its high contrast, simple wiring and low power consumption, it can be applied to many display applications, such as wearable display devices, Mini small game consoles, desktop widgets, etc.

This 0.96” OLED display module supports both 3.3V and 5V. The display module adopts a high-contrast, low-power [OLED](https://www.dfrobot.com/search-OLED.html) display. It is compatible with controllers such as Arduino UNO, Leonardo, [ESP32/ESP8266,](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-271.html) FireBettle-M0 and so on. Internal power-on reset processing, I2C communication methods, so that your welding line will be more convenient and simpler. If you want to change I2C communication to SPI, you just need to change the resistor position. In addition, the display is in an aluminum frame package that protects the screen from damage, and also prevents you from scratching that caused by the glass edge of the screen.

**Note:** Turn the pixels off when you are not using the display to prevent the use of some pixels too long to darken them, which will cause the brightness uniformity problem.
