Overview
Engineered in Elgin, IL USA, the Color OLED Arduino Shields are available in three sizes: 1.27”, 1.5” and 1.69” diagonal.
Each Color OLED Arduino Shield comes with a serial interface color OLED display module that has a single row pinout
designed for easy breadboarding, can support video, and has all the great display features of Newhaven Display’s Full
Color OLEDs.
The open source hardware and software design of the Color OLED Arduino Shields saves engineers time and money.
Newhaven Display’s engineers designed them to be flexible development tools that can be as simple or complex as
needed by the user. These shields are not limited to just the Arduino brand boards, with their single row pinout, they
can easily be used with any existing development board. These shields are 3.3V-5V ready in order to support a broader
range of end products.
Since the Arduino Development boards are powerful tools, a micro SD slot comes as a built-in feature allowing
additional storage space for more complex code. This eliminates any memory constraints of the Arduino board. For
interchangeable development options, the Color OLED modules share the same pinout between all three sizes. With all
of these unique features and more, these modules are a stable component for any display project since they can grow
with evolving products.

Instructions
Attach the Color OLED Shield onto your Arduino Uno as shown below.
Slowly remove the protective film by pulling up on the Green tab.

Installing the Arduino Software and Hello World Test
Lastly, it is time to run the Hello World test software on the Arduino Uno. You will need to download the library first and
install it.
Visit Newhaven Display’s GitHub page and download our example Arduino Code:
https://github.com/NewhavenDisplay/NHD-1.69-160128ASC3_Example

[8]
To download, click the “Download ZIP” button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder
“NHD-1.69-160128ASC3”.
Place the NHD-1.69-160128ASC3 library folder in your Arduino’s libraries folder. For Windows users, it will be located in
"My Documents\Arduino\libraries". For Mac users, it will be located in "Documents/Arduino/libraries".
Note: You may need to create the libraries subfolder if it is your first library.
After you restart the IDE, you should be able to select File →Examples → NHD-1.69-160128ASC3 → test –this is the
example sketch that just tests the OLED display.

Upload the sketch and you should see the following:
That’s it! Enjoy your new display!
