Waveshare 1.3inch 128x64 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.
