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 VERSATILEArduino compatible on Indiegogo I did prototype of wearable display base on natural leather, to show what is possible with ATtiny25/45/85 PCB.

This tutorial will give expanation for this question.

Soldering is not the subject of this instructable but you can check how to do this here.

Step 1

What do we need?Basically parts needed for making wearable display we can devided for two categories. First – part of which will be part of the final device

• OLED SSD1306 display x 1• PCB with ATtiny85 on board x 1• Leather ~5cm2 x 1• Battery CR2032 x 1• Cattery Case x 1• Switch x 1• Clothes latches x 8

Second - parts which we will use to prepare wearable display • Ruler x 1• Scissors x 1 • scalpel x 1• Super glue x 1• soldering iron x 1• Tin x 1• Rosin x 1• Connecting cable x 1• Pen x 1

Step 2 Preparing leather 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.

Now it is time to place 4 clothes latches on the leather and give them right place.

With pen draw small dots on the leather.

With scissors cut drawed before selected outer shape.

Be aware on your finger. This kind of knife is very sharp!If you are not sure if you can make it ask someone more experienced.Now with knife cut internal window for OLED dispaly.This can take some time depending on the thickness of the leather.

After all we will get open window inside of leather.

Now you can check if display can be seen through the cutted window.

Step 3Display preparing In this step we are going to prepare display to allow easy connecting with the leather.Solder 4 clothes latches to display, like it is shown on photo.

And view from the bottom side of the OLED display.

Make it GND pin shorter.

This is not mandatory step, you can skip, but switch can give additional functionality.

Stick with the glue switch to PCB.

Solder one leg of switch to +5V and second to pin P3 not to pin P5 like it is done on the photo – P5 it is a reset signal.Solder leg of the diplay to PCB.

Make a connection with wire to GND of the display.

And solder to GND sidnal on the PCB.

Solder cable to battery case.

Place glue on the display tape.

Instructable_How to make wearable display - OLED SSD1306 display run by ATtiny85_rev01.pdf 12

Pleace battery case on display tape and wait 1 minute, until the theglue binds.

Solder cables from battery to PCB. Be aware of right polarisation ofthe battery. + of battery to +5V and – of battery to GN.

Before you place battery. Upload hex file to Attiny85.Make sure that you connect ISP programming cable in the right way.

Step 4 Sew snaps to leather

In this step we are going to sew clothes latches to the leather.

Sew step by steps all latches. Be aware of your fingers because of the needle.

Other side view.

4 tabs have been sewn

With scissors you can make round corner of the leather.

Step 5 Sew snaps to OLED display

This step is similar to step 4. Now we are going to sew 4 latches toOLED display. Mark on the leather position of the latches from OLED display.

Check if everything fit in to the right place.

Snap to snap.

Gently place battery in battery case.
