Example
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); if (!IclcdBegin(0x27, 20, 4)) { // Set the address and dimensions of the PCF8574 character LCD. Serial.println(F("CLCD connection failed")); return; } IclcdSetCursor(0, 0); // Move the cursor to the specified column and row. IclcdPrint(F("ILOGICS Iclcd")); // Print a string or number to the LCD. IclcdSetCursor(0, 1); // Move the cursor to the specified column and row. IclcdPrint(1234); // Print a string or number to the LCD. IclcdSetCursor(6, 1); // Move the cursor to the specified column and row. IclcdPrint(12.34, 2); // Print a string or number to the LCD. } void loop() { }
Precautions
- PCF8574 connections use the same mapping as the existing CLCD library: P0=RS, P1=R/W, P2=Enable, P3=backlight, P4~P7=LCD D4~D7.
- Verify the LCD module's actual I²C address using its settings and I²C scan results.
- SDA/SCL can share the bus with other I²C devices, but addresses must not overlap.
- Do not run
Wiretransfers or I²C slave callbacks concurrently withIclcd…(). Iclcd transfers run at 100 kHz and then restore the previous TWI settings. - On MPAINO, using D20/D21 for external interrupts prevents simultaneous I²C use.
IclcdCommand()can change the LCD state directly. Use it only if you understand HD44780 commands.
