Summary of ATtiny85 and SSD1306 wearable display
This tutorial guides users in building a wearable display using an ATtiny85 microcontroller and an OLED SSD1306 screen. The project utilizes natural leather as the base, secured with clothes latches and powered by a CR2032 battery. It details preparing the leather to fit the display, soldering connections, and attaching snaps for wearability.
Parts used in the Wearable OLED Display:
- OLED SSD1306 display
- PCB with ATtiny85 on board
- Natural leather (~5cm²)
- Battery CR2032
- Battery Case
- Switch
- Clothes latches (8 units)
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Scalpel
- Super glue
- Soldering iron
- Tin
- Rosin
- Connecting cable
- Pen
How to make wearable display – OLED SSD1306 display run by ATtiny85
Step by step tutorial, with no steps to skip.
The main goal of this tutorial is to show how to make wearable display run by Attiny85 and OLED display SDD1306.
Due to running campaign for ATtiny25/45/85 PCB TINY CHEAP VERSATILE Arduino compatible on Indiegogo I did prototype of wearable display base on natural leather, to show what is possible with ATtiny25/45/85 PCB.
Soldering is not the subject of this instructable but you can check how to do this here.
PDF of this instructable can be download directly from here.

Step 2 – Preparing leather
Step 3 – Display preparing
Step 4 – Sew snaps to leather
Step 5 – Sew snaps to OLED display
Step 6 – Extras

Step 2: Preparing leather – 1
In this step we are going to prepare natural leather.
Place your display on the leather. This will give you idea how big the leather should be.
In our case it’s going to be rectangle about size 60x70mm.
Draw with pen rectangle on the internal side of the leather.
Inside rectangle draw another rectangle which fit to active area of your display.
