TeensyView Hookup Guide
MTaylor Introduction
The TeensyView is an SSD1306 128x32 OLED screen breakout that matches the Teensy 3 form factor. It's great for displaying debug information and visualizing data on a Teensy, and it is compatible with the LC, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, Audio Board, Prop Shield, Prop Shield LC and XBee Adapter.
This guide shows how to connect the TeensyView to various Teensy-related products, then shows some examples with a library reference. The SSD1306 driver is quite popular and has a lot of support behind it. The TeensyView Arduino Library is like the Micro OLED Breakout's and the MicroView's libraries, so expect the same functions to work, just tuned for the Teensy and conveniently packaged.
