Create a Raspberry Pi OLED monitor

This issue’s project is a tiny OLED screen that will provide useful data about a Raspberry Pi at a glance. We will also run our project on boot to monitor the system as we work.

The OLED screen connects to the Raspberry Pi GPIO using an I2C interface. This is a special interface that only needs four pins on the Pi in order to send data. To connect your Pi please refer to the diagram on the following page.

With the physical connection made we now need to enable I2C on our Pi – do this in the Raspberry Pi Configuration tool. We will also need to install two Python libraries
