Hey guys,
I'm trying to order components for this tutorial http://www.espruino.com/SSD1606, but I'm not sure, which I need to order? Currently I have this in my shopping basket

Pico

Display

But how do I connect the display with the Pico?

Thanks
Kasper

@user71789 looks like that your are just fine with what you listed so far. You need also some wires - solder or breadboard style. For power supply consider something like that*

or

...just to complete your shopping list.

...and yeah, forgot the switch you may need when you don't want to fiddle with the Espruino onboard PicoSwitch ;)

...and some sort of enclosure to put everything into it...
