1 / 2
Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "Arduino UNO" as shown on Picture 2
Step 4: In Visuino Add & Set Components1 / 4
- Add "OLED I2C" component
- Double click on the "DisplayOLED1" and in the "Elements" window drag "Draw Text" to the left side and set in the properties window set "Size" to 2, "Text" to HELLO WORLD (Or any other text)
- Optionally you can also set X and Y
- Close the "Elements" window
