SSD1306 OLED with WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE

Wiring for the SSD1306 OLED 128x64 (I2C) on the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE (STM32F411CE, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Wiring

Check before you power it on

• Supply: 3.3 V from the 3V3 pin.
• I2C uses the board’s default pins B7 (SDA) and B6 (SCL). Most modules include pull-up resistors; if the part is not found, check them and swap-test SDA/SCL.

Test code (Arduino)

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();  // SDA = B7, SCL = B6 (the board's default I2C pins)
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x3C);
  bool found = Wire.endTransmission() == 0;
  Serial.println(found ? "SSD1306 OLED 128x64 (I2C) found at 0x3C" : "Not found: check power, GND and SDA/SCL");
}

void loop() {}

Arduino board: STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF4:pnum=BLACKPILL_F411CE,usb=CDCgen,upload_method=dfuMethod. To upload over USB, hold BOOT0, press and release NRST, then release BOOT0 (DFU mode). An ST-LINK on the SWD pins also works.

Questions

Which WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE pins do I use for the SSD1306 OLED?

GND → G, VCC → 3V3, SCL → B6 (PB6), SDA → B7 (PB7).

Does the SSD1306 OLED work with the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE at 3.3 V?

Yes: the SSD1306 OLED runs at 3.3-5 V and the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

What is the I2C address of the SSD1306 OLED?

0x3C or 0x3D. An I2C scan (BoardPilot does it for you) shows which one your module uses.
