Adafruit PiOLED - 128x32 Monochrome OLED Add-on for Raspberry Pi
100 units available with a short lead time.
The Adafruit PiOLED is a compact 128×32 monochrome OLED display that plugs directly onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header. At just 1 inch diagonal, it's the perfect status display for headless Pi projects — showing IP addresses, system stats, sensor readings, or custom graphics without needing a full monitor.
The display uses the SSD1306 driver over I2C, leaving the rest of your GPIO pins free for buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other peripherals. It comes fully assembled and tested — just plug it in and install the Python library to start displaying text, images, and animations at up to 30 FPS.
