Or one of these? shop468430569.world.taobao.com/… – tlfong01 yesterday

For newbies, I recommend SSD1306 12864: aliexpress.com/ssd1306-oled-128x64_reviews.html – tlfong01 yesterday

Ah, your OLED is SSD1309, which is a bit harder to play with the more popular 1306: AliExpress SSD1309 OLEDs aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-ssd1309-oled-display.html. Anyway, I would suggest to first try this driver: (1) SSD1306/SSD1309 Drivers Python: luma-oled.readthedocs.io/en/latest. Please let me know if you have any DIY experience of (1) Rpi GPIO blinking a LED, Rpi buster Thonny python 3.7, (2) SPI, or (3) I2C. Then I know if I should talk in Rpi newbie or ninja language. – tlfong01 10 hours ago

However, newbie or ninja, you must first check out the follow SparkFun YT and Hookup guide: (1) youtube.com/… (2) learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/… – tlfong01 10 hours ago

SSD309 OLED talks I2C or SPI. The SparkFun YT Doom guy recommends to try I2C, but then says you must SPI for fast action. All Arduino ok doomers talks SPI, and would LOL at low IQ Rpi I2C guys. However, I2C is easier to handle, but be prepared to upgrade to SPI sooner or later: imgur.com/gallery/AB82EPK. – tlfong01 9 hours ago

SparkFun OLED Hookup guide is newbie friendly to learn how to do the wring for I2C or SPI. However, their software example is only for Arduino. For Rpi Python, you need to learn by the luma.oled tutorial which also very newbie friendly on I2C/SPI introduction, how to install drivers etc. One good thing is their API. You might like to read the API on setting up the display. Please let me know if you don’t know anything there difficult: luma-oled.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-documentation.html – tlfong01 7 hours ago

In case you find Luma OLED tutorial still hard to understand, you might like to also read similar tutorials for LCD. I would recommend the popular LCD drivers such as st7789 (Pyromoni has good tutorials), ili9341-xpt2046 (touch screen, but very tedious) drivers. Again, please let me know if you which have more special user requirements. I will give the links next comment. Happy learning and cheers:) – tlfong01 7 hours ago
