    Looks awesome, how tricky are those displays to actually use?

    @j4cobgarby If you find a nice library it's pretty simple. I'm using luma.oled. Just modified the controller a bit to make scrolling text possible.

    @j4cobgarby I think i found a local distributer over adafruit. Adafruit was too expensive with shipping to Germany.

    Rich guy. Pi3, Ethernet, power adapter.

    I'm running a W over Wi-Fi and powering it with USB from one of my router's ports. @vexusia

    Yes, you can make dozens of pennies per year on a Raspberry Pi. @Dimmerworld

    I love wireless but there is nothing butterier than the click and old-school reliability of plugging in an Ethernet cable into every-things....@vexusia

    @riteshx95 Either from Adafruit directly or from a local distributor. They have a list at Adafruit.
    This is the 2.7" Version.

    Is there a color compatible version?

    @AlgoRythm You mean a color display or the python module?
    Colored OLED are available too, but as far as I can see, not in that size.
    The module I'm using should support colors.
