Arduino OLED Library

Arduino is an open source hardware platform that allows designers, developers, anyone to create amazing things with a little bit of electronic know-how. 4D-Systems make a line of small OLED Display screens that worked great with the Arduino. I quickly realized that no one really had built a solid library for this piece of hardware though. Meaning each function I wanted to do had to be written from scratch so the Arduino could control the OLED Screen. What I found out on the net between 4D Systems own PDF manuals and parts from one tutorial online helped me create my own OLED Library.

The hard part for me was that I've never really developed a header for a c/+ compiler. I come from a world of JavaScript and HTML. What's been really cool now is seeing that other people are using it and developing from this base. The link below is to my github repository as well as someones cleaver use of my library to make a small Oscilloscope.
