Hi DJ,
In your i2c help, you mentioned that the address is 7 bits correct me if i'm wrong but if you've got bit 0-7 then isn't it 8 bits?
Let me explain:
bit 0 - 1 bit
bit 1 - 1 bit
bit 2 - 1 bit
bit 3 - 1 bit
bit 4 - 1 bit
bit 5 - 1 bit
bit 6 - 1 bit
bit 7 - 1 bit
You see? in total, you've got 8 bits now.
Edit: wait i'm confused *blush* please delete this thread.....
Did you ever get a chance to mess around with the i2c LCD. Mine just sits there being blue. "Hello world" would be awsome.
I found this arduino code:
Code:
I bet you will find out how to do it if you decompile the LiquidCrystal library.
Also @Bookmaker what LCD do you have?
i2c LCD forum
It states some ways down the they shipped the wrong library with the LCD and they give a url for the correct one.
Naturly I don't have the vaguest idea what they are talking about however you may.
correct library
Yes, serial LCDs are so much easier, i have a sparkfun one that i got up and running in less than 10mins.
Anyways,
Good luck with the library you found!
If you need any help, hit me up.
I don't know anything about i2c much less the library. May be DJ can give us a hand here?
LINK:I2C
SCL : Clock
SDA : Data
clock is used to notify which device is going to be master in order to ship data across the I2C bus
also to notify data: 1's and 0's.
