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
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages. Featuring Arduino™ Nano connectivity, it allows easy expansion with specialized shields, while being mbed-enabled for seamless integration with online resources. The
board includes an on-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer, supporting USB reenumeration with three interfaces: Virtual Com port, mass storage, and debug port. It offers a flexible power supply through either USB VBUS or an external source. Additionally, it includes three LEDs (LD1 for USB communication, LD2 for power,
and LD3 as a user LED) and a reset push button. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board is supported by various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as IAR™, Keil®, and GCC-based IDEs like AC6 SW4STM32, making it a versatile tool for developers.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.
2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.
3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

# 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.
