DJ, I am out of Digital Ports and I want to use a LCD Display. Can I use a 12C port and if so do I need to purchase a special interface and how would I input the text since the only control available under 12C is blinkin and nothing that I can see in Script? I await your input.
Let's hope v13 makes it a bit easier for you by using the script console.
PS, i ordered one. So i'll be able to help you when i get it
As usual you always go above and beyond. WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND. It is more of a chalange now than a practacality since I have an additonal 20 digital ports to work with I could simply order a serial LCD but like I said it is more of a chalange at this point.
LOL, we'll figure it out
Well, I tried a bunch to noavail.
Does the screen still go blank with the anything send to the address 0x27?
DJ, sendI2C(0x27, "Hello World") Blanks the screen.
I get a lit screen with the curser flashing in position one when I send: sendI2C(0x27, 0x20, 0x10) # put in 8 bit mode sendI2C(0x27, 0x20, 0x08) # configure for 2 line display sendI2C(0x27, 0x01) # clear display
Well that's good news!
After those commands, try sending something like
sendI2C(0x27, 0x80, "Hello World")
No such luck. May be we should wait until you get yours. Don't need taking everyones time up.
