- Clone or download the repository to your Rasp.
- Setup I2C before using:
- Give permission to the setup file:
chmod +x ./ setup-i2c
- Run setup: (only need to run once on a fresh Rasbian Buster installation)
sudo ./ setup-i2c
- Run the demo:
python3 lcd.py- Now the LCD should show some letters. If not, please double check your wiring and the type of LCD.
- You can change the number of rows and columns of the LCD in initialization file (default to be 20x4).
- You can check inside the module to see what functions are available. Since I only port functions that are necessary for my project, you can not expect to have full functions as the original. However, I believe all basic functions for displaying the LCD are included.
- Have fun coding!
