Waveshare 1.3inch 128×64 OLED HAT for Raspberry Pi

Waveshare 1.3inch 128×64 OLED HAT for Raspberry Pi

Waveshare 1.3inch OLED HAT is a compact display expansion board for Raspberry Pi projects that need a clear monochrome control interface. It features a 1.3inch OLED panel, 128 x 64 resolution, an embedded SH1106 controller, and SPI or I2C communication options.

The HAT uses a standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header and supports Raspberry Pi series boards and Jetson Nano reference workflows. Interface options include 4-wire SPI, 3-wire SPI, and I2C, configured through onboard resistor settings. Official resources include development examples and manual references for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano.

Technical Specifications

Interface Notes & Hardware Guidance

• GPIO header alignment: The HAT connects through the standard 40PIN GPIO header, so check board orientation and pin alignment before powering the Raspberry Pi.
• Interface selection: Select 4-wire SPI, 3-wire SPI, or I2C according to your project wiring and software stack, then verify the onboard resistor configuration.
• Driver support: Use SH1106-compatible OLED libraries or Waveshare reference examples when integrating the display into Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano workflows.
• Display planning: The 128 x 64 resolution is suitable for system status, sensor values, compact menus, short prompts, and small monochrome UI elements.
• Mechanical layout: Confirm HAT clearance with Raspberry Pi cases, stacked HATs, cooling hardware, and GPIO accessories before final assembly.
