The Arduino 101 is a versatile development board that integrates the Intel Curie module, designed to bring the power of an Intel microcontroller to the Arduino platform. With its built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and 6-axis accelerometer/gyroscope, the Arduino 101 is particularly well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology projects. Its form factor and pin layout are compatible with standard Arduino shields, making it easy to incorporate into existing designs.
This circuit consists of an Arduino 101 microcontroller connected to a 0.96" OLED display via I2C communication. The Arduino runs a program that initializes the OLED and continuously displays an animated sequence of frames on the screen.

// Blink LED example for Arduino 101
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // Wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // Wait for a second
}
Note: The above code is a simple blink example that is compatible with the Arduino 101, as it shares the same pin layout for the built-in LED with the Arduino UNO.
