Wiring an OLED dot matrix to the I²C bus

LCD displays are not the only option when we have to display content on an external screen through the I²C or SPI buses. There are also OLED dot matrixes that allow us to control a specific number of dots. In OLED dot matrices we have control over each dot, instead of controlling each character space.
