Hardware Overview
How does it work?
OLED B Click is based on the MI9639BO-B2, a 19.3x7.8mm 96x39px light blue monochrome passive matrix OLED display from Multi-Inno Technology. The MI9639BO-B2 display features an SSD1306, a 128x64 dot-matrix OLED/PLED segment/common driver with a controller. The controller has built-in functionalities like contrast control (256-step brightness control), normal or inverse image display, vertical and horizontal scrolling functions, and much more accessible through the I2C serial interface. OLEDs are emissive and don't require a separate backlight as LCD technology does, reducing the OLED display's overall power consumption compared to LCDs. It also does not suffer from loss of contrast due to bleed-through of the backlight in the "off" pixels. OLEDs, being emissive, have a consistent contrast ratio greater than 100:1 with no limitation in viewing angle. In addition, they don't suffer from temperature-related response time delays and
contrast changes. Like any OLED display, the MI9639BO-B2 is made from a thin film of an organic compound that emits light when exposed to a current. A small monochrome display like this represents an ideal solution for displaying text or icons. The MI9639BO-B2 display is bright, has a wide viewing angle, and has low power consumption. In addition to the display's main power supply, taken from the +3.3V microBUS™ power rail, the MI9639BO-B2 has another power pin, more precisely, the power supply for the DC/DC converter circuit. This pin is the power supply pin for the internal buffer of the DC/DC voltage converter. Therefore, for this pin, the Click board™ uses a low dropout linear regulator AP7331 from Diodes Incorporated, providing a 3.6V power supply out of 5V mikroBUS™ rail. OLED B Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings. It allows the communication-enable
feature to be routed to the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, enabling the OLED B Click for MCU communication only when the CS pin is pulled to a low logic state. In addition, it has two more pins. The first is related to the reset function, routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket (when the pin is in a low logic state, the initialization of the chip is executed), and the second is labeled as D/C and routed to the PWM pin on the mikroBUS™ socket is I2C slave address selection pin. This Click board™ is designed to be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level, while 5V is used as a supply voltage of the AP7331 LDO. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Clicker 2 for Kinetis is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4F microcontroller, the MK64FN1M0VDC12 from NXP Semiconductors, two mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a JTAG programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Its compact design with clear and easily recognizable silkscreen markings allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and
features quickly. Each part of the Clicker 2 for Kinetis development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the Clicker 2 for Kinetis programming method, using a USB HID mikroBootloader or an external mikroProg connector for Kinetis programmer, the Clicker 2 board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Micro-B cable, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or
using a Li-Polymer battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. Clicker 2 for Kinetis is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

# Description
* This example demonstrates the use (control) of the OLED B display.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Configures the microcontroller for communication and initializes the click
* board to default state.
*
* ## Application Task
* This section contains the main program that is executed showing a practical
* example on how to use the implemented functions.
