I am totally new to the Arduino and the OLED. I have already gone thru some basic lessons with the lighting of and led and the hello world routines.

I have a project in mind and hopefully I can get some guidance.

I have an application I run on my PC. Various items are displayed on my display such as Altitude information and Heading information.

I would like to be able to display that same information on the OLED. The app developer is willing to send that info over to the Arduino. I am not sure but I think it would be standard TEXT and NUMBERS.

From there I am at a loss as to how to write the sketch for the  OLED.

Any insight sure would be helpful. I realize i have a lot to learn here but after coming across this forum I feel pretty good about doing this. Other forums were not willing to guide me.

Thank you!

Your best bet right now is to load and test all of the example code for your Arduino and the library for whatever OLED you're using. The more you can learn about its capabilities and how to use them the better.

Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.
