Retro OLED Terminal – Customizable Desktop Display

TinyTerm is a compact retro-inspired OLED desktop display powered by an ESP32-C3 Mini and a 128×64 SSD1306 OLED screen. The design resembles a miniature computer terminal and can display custom text, status messages, quotes, notifications, or simple system information.

The included example code uses the Adafruit SSD1306 and GFX libraries to display customizable text on the screen. Simply edit the text in the sketch, upload it to the ESP32-C3 Mini, and your TinyTerm is ready to use.
