You might have to go back a lesson or two for the lead up. As he generally 
says in the intro most of what he uses is from the Sunfounder Kepler kit. 
It has a standard LCD display but he suggested buying the OLED separately 
and used it for Lissajous patterns and other fancier stuff.

It's not a bad series although he can be long-winded and his Python style 
definitely isn't PEP8 friendly.

He switched to the Arduino Uno R4 after the IR controller/NeoPixel Pico 
project and I don't know if he intends to go back to the Pico. He uses 
Thonny but I use the MicroPython extension in VS Code. Lately I've been 
using Code for everything. Mostly I work on Linux boxes but it's all the 
same on Windows. There is a PlatformIO extension that works with Arduino 
and other boards. PyLance upsets some because it's a MS product but it 
works well too.  I've used PyCharm and like it but I also work on C, .NET, 
Angular, and other projects and Code gives me a uniform IDE.
