microchip display interface

[iamjohn]

I was wondering if anyone knows how to interface a display like the one shown at: https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=52167&start=30 using one of the microchip parts and the best part (smallest, least expensive) to use for something like that. I only need 3 extra I/O pins after whatever is needed to connect to that display. I've seen these displays on ebay or I could just use one of the ones from adafruit which would save me a lot of work trying to connect to it since I don't have to put it into something small like that guy did.

If you provide a datasheet to the display, people can help you better.

Display is standard oled with SPI or i2c  communication so you can talk to them with any microcontroller that's powerful enough.

Most PIC controllers will have hardware spi or i2c.  The OLED display that guy used is on sale on Adafruit as the following comments say, so if you go on the sale page, you'll find there documentation for it (how to talk to it using your PIC). If not, it's enough to go on Digikey, mouser, newark and search for a similar oled display with the same pinout and the datasheet for those displays will contain the instructions and everything you need to know.

Thanks mariush! You gave me enough information to get me going, it doesn't seem like it will be so difficult after all.
