In this article, we will be utilizing the IIC OLED SSD1306 chip to display interactive outputs from the ESP32. If you ask me this is really cool. I am so excited to write this article, so let's begin. I already have the ESP32 setup to my machine utilizing the Arduino IDE.

What am I using?

I will be using an OLED SSD1306 chip that was bought from Amazon. I have added the product below if you want to purchase and follow this article exactly. The cost of this product is very expensive. However, even though this includes the smaller ESP8266; we utilize the ESP32 in this article.
