Connecting to the SSD1306 display

This recipe will show you how to use the adafruit_ssd1306 library to connect to the FeatherWing OLED display. The recipe will show you how to initialize the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus that the OLED display is connected to. Then, we can create an SSD1306_I2C object that connects to the display using the I2C bus.

This recipe will help you in a number of ways; there are a whole array of components that connect using I2C, so this recipe will give you exposure to this technology so that you are familiar with it whenever you need to use it in your own projects.

You will gain an understanding of how to use a display library that can work with MicroPython, which can then be included in any projects that you might want to add a display to.
