This guide outlines the steps to add an OLED display module to the FakeTec Meshtastic Device, enabling users to view messages and network information in real-time. It emphasizes the importance of selecting compatible hardware, particularly recommending the 0.96" I2C OLED SSD1306. The article provides tips on cost-effective purchasing through platforms like AliExpress, encourages good practices like adding decoupling capacitors, and guides users through the assembly and configuration steps in both hardware connections and settings adjustments within the Meshtastic app.
When ordering from AliExpress, consider consolidating your purchases from a single seller to maximize savings. This can significantly reduce shipping costs.
