Hardware Overview
How does it work?
OLED W Click is based on the MI9639BO-W, a 19.3x7.8mm 96x39px white light monochrome passive matrix OLED display from Multi-Inno Technology. The MI9639BO-W 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, and vertical and horizontal scrolling functions, and more accessible through the configurable host 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 contrast loss due to the backlight's bleed-through in the "off" pixels. OLEDs, being emissive, have a consistent contrast ratio 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-W is made from a thin film of an organic compound that emits bright light when exposed to a current with a wide viewing angle and low power consumption, representing an ideal solution for displaying text or icons. OLED W Click allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces. The selection can be made by positioning SMD jumpers labeled SEL COMM in an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. In addition, it uses two more pins. The first is related to the reset function, routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket. When this pin is in a low logic state, the initialization of the SSD1306 is executed. The second pin is labeled as D/C and routed to the PWM pin on the mikroBUS™ socket representing the I2C slave address selection pin in a case of
selected I2C communication. In addition to the display's main power supply, taken from the +3.3V microBUS™ power rail, the MI9639BO-W has another power pin, more precisely, the power supply for its DC/DC converter circuit. This pin represents the power supply pin for the internal buffer of the DC/DC voltage converter, which is why this Click board™ uses a low dropout linear regulator AP7331 from Diodes Incorporated, providing a 3.6V power supply out of 5V mikroBUS™ rail. 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 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
Nucleo-64 with STM32F091RC MCU offers a cost-effective and adaptable platform for developers to explore new ideas and prototype their designs. This board harnesses the versatility of the STM32 microcontroller, enabling users to select the optimal balance of performance and power consumption for their projects. It accommodates the STM32 microcontroller in the LQFP64 package and includes essential components such as a user LED, which doubles as an ARDUINO® signal, alongside user and reset push-buttons, and a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator for precise timing operations. Designed with expansion and flexibility in mind, the Nucleo-64 board features an ARDUINO® Uno V3 expansion connector and ST morpho extension pin
headers, granting complete access to the STM32's I/Os for comprehensive project integration. Power supply options are adaptable, supporting ST-LINK USB VBUS or external power sources, ensuring adaptability in various development environments. The board also has an on-board ST-LINK debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability, simplifying the programming and debugging process. Moreover, the board is designed to simplify advanced development with its external SMPS for efficient Vcore logic supply, support for USB Device full speed or USB SNK/UFP full speed, and built-in cryptographic features, enhancing both the power efficiency and security of projects. Additional connectivity is
provided through dedicated connectors for external SMPS experimentation, a USB connector for the ST-LINK, and a MIPI® debug connector, expanding the possibilities for hardware interfacing and experimentation. Developers will find extensive support through comprehensive free software libraries and examples, courtesy of the STM32Cube MCU Package. This, combined with compatibility with a wide array of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), including IAR Embedded Workbench®, MDK-ARM, and STM32CubeIDE, ensures a smooth and efficient development experience, allowing users to fully leverage the capabilities of the Nucleo-64 board in their projects.

Accessories
Click Shield for Nucleo-64 comes equipped with two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the STM32 Nucleo-64 board with no effort. This way, Mikroe allows its users to add any functionality from our ever-growing range of Click boards™, such as WiFi, GSM, GPS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, environmental sensors, LEDs, speech recognition, motor control, movement sensors, and many more. More than 1537 Click boards™, which can be stacked and integrated, are at your disposal. The STM32 Nucleo-64 boards are based on the microcontrollers in 64-pin packages, a 32-bit MCU with an ARM Cortex M4 processor operating at 84MHz, 512Kb Flash, and 96KB SRAM, divided into two regions where the top section represents the ST-Link/V2 debugger and programmer while the bottom section of the board is an actual development board. These boards are controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection to program and efficiently debug the Nucleo-64 board out of the box, with an additional USB cable connected to the USB mini port on the board. Most of the STM32 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 STM32 Nucleo-64 board with our Click Shield for Nucleo-64, 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.
