Hardware Overview
How does it work?
OLED Switch Click is based on the ISC15ANP4, a programmable smart display from NKK Switches. The OLED display has a 64x48 pixels resolution with up to 65K colors (16-bit depth), or 256 colors in 8-bit mode, and a 180° viewing angle. The life expectancy is up to 60000 hours depending on the luminance of the display and the percentage of the pixels set to on. The display is perfect for displaying simple information, whether as icons or words. The most interesting feature is that the display can be programmed to change the picture when needed. For example, you can design a reprogrammable keypad that switches from Latin to Cyrillic script or Chinese characters. The internal frame buffer on the OLED display holds 96x64 pixels with 2 bytes of 565 formatted color information for each. When displaying an image that is the size of the display (64x48), the image
will be displayed well unless scrolled. To scroll an image without having random pixels from unused space in the internal frame buffer, load a 96x64 image onto the OLED Switch Click with your desired image centered like the blue-colored area or similar. VisualTFT can be used to prepare the BMP images. There is a learn.microe.com article that explains how to take 16 or 24-bit BMP pictures and create C arrays. The article is about RGB matrices, but the same principle applies. The mechanical button itself is nicely built, with translucent black housing. When pressed, it gives satisfying tactile feedback and has a distinct, long travel of 4.5mm. Its contacts have a 0.1A@12VDC rating to switch an external circuit over screw terminals. The internal button circuit is an SPST and is normally open. The pressure on the button itself above 100N can damage the OLED. In
addition, this Click board™ features the MAX8574, a high-efficiency LCD boost with true shutdown from Analog Devices, that serves as a main OLED drive circuit power supply obtained from the mikroBUS™ 3.3V power rail. The OLED Switch Click uses an SPI serial interface to communicate with the host MCU. In addition, the OLED can be reset over the RST pin, and a CD pin can set data to be interpreted as a Command or as Data depending on the logic state. The host MCU cannot know the push button’s state over the mikroBUS™ socket. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Arduino UNO is a versatile microcontroller board built around the ATmega328P chip. It offers extensive connectivity options for various projects, featuring 14 digital input/output pins, six of which are PWM-capable, along with six analog inputs. Its core components include a 16MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an
ICSP header, and a reset button, providing everything necessary to power and program the board. The Uno is ready to go, whether connected to a computer via USB or powered by an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. As the first USB Arduino board, it serves as the benchmark for the Arduino platform, with "Uno" symbolizing its status as the
first in a series. This name choice, meaning "one" in Italian, commemorates the launch of Arduino Software (IDE) 1.0. Initially introduced alongside version 1.0 of the Arduino Software (IDE), the Uno has since become the foundational model for subsequent Arduino releases, embodying the platform's evolution.

Accessories
Click Shield for Arduino UNO has two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the Arduino UNO board without effort. The Arduino Uno, a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P, provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the ATmega328P microcontroller from various combinations of performance, power consumption, and features. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (of which six can be used as PWM outputs), six analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator (CSTCE16M0V53-R0), a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and reset button. Most of the ATmega328P microcontroller pins are brought to the IO pins on the left and right edge of the board, which are then connected to two existing mikroBUS™ sockets. This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the Arduino UNO board with our Click Shield for Arduino UNO, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

Application Output via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.

* \file
* \brief OledSwitch Click example
*
* # Description
* This example showcases how to configure and use the OLED Switch click. This click is a
* combination of a button and a full color organic LED display. Displays settings are first
* loaded onto the chip and after that you can show any 64x48 pixel image on the display.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* This function initializes and configures the click modules. In order for the
* click to work properly, you need to configure display and power settings.
* The full initialization of the chip is done in the default_cfg(...) function.
*
* ## Application Task
* This function shows the user how to display images on the OLED screen. Every image you'd
* like to display needs to have a resolution of 64x48 and be stored in a 6144 cell array.
*
* @note
* Every pixel on the OLED screen is displayed at the time of writing to the chip (PWM 1).
* Displaying speed can be directly controled by adding delays in the for loop section of
* the draw_image(...) function.
