SDA -> D0

Compile error.

Error: Could not compile. Please review your code.

I do just use the sample ssd1306-128x64-i2c.ino with no changes only I2C addr 0x3C (for the 128x64)

When i do try the OLED sample surfsoon-oled and again only change the I2C addr to 0x3C
Now the OLED do sign Adafruit logo and no more -it looks like it works or?

sample surfsoon-oled - Code change:

Line 18: oled.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);  // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3D (for the 128x64)

All fixed now.

I did use Adafruit_SSD1306 examples for ssd1306_128x64_i2c (ssd1306_128x64_i2c.ino) from github:

I did only change some few line of code:

From:
static const unsigned char PROGMEM logo16_glcd_bmp =
{ B00000000, B11000000,
B00000001, B11000000,
B00000001, B11000000,
B00000011, B11100000,
B11110011, B11100000,
B11111110, B11111000,
B01111110, B11111111,
B00110011, B10011111,
B00011111, B11111100,
B00001101, B01110000,
B00011011, B10100000,
B00111111, B11100000,
B00111111, B11110000,
B01111100, B11110000,
B01110000, B01110000,
B00000000, B00110000 };

To:

static const unsigned char PROGMEM logo16_glcd_bmp =
{ 0B00000000, 0B11000000,
0B00000001, 0B11000000,
0B00000001, 0B11000000,
0B00000011, 0B11100000,
0B11110011, 0B11100000,
0B11111110, 0B11111000,
0B01111110, 0B11111111,
0B00110011, 0B10011111,
0B00011111, 0B11111100,
0B00001101, 0B01110000,
0B00011011, 0B10100000,
0B00111111, 0B11100000,
0B00111111, 0B11110000,
0B01111100, 0B11110000,
0B01110000, 0B01110000,
0B00000000, 0B00110000 };

And did change this part:
display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C); // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3D (for the 128x64)

Now it’s working

Thanks
