Character LCD with I2C Interface Component

ropac_285281 Sep 22, 2016 10:37 AM

Hello,

This is a bit of a one off, but I'm curious to know if someone has been successful with adapting (configuring) the Character LCD with I2C Interface component for use with a 1602 display module such as this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Display-IIC-I2C-TWI-SP-I-Serial-Interface-1602-16X2-Character-Blue-LCD-Module/172249155181?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3D3a182bdf34d4434083fd307fa784614c%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D172230305694

They are inexpensive and I plan to use them in a new amateur radio transceiver based on the PSoC 5.

If this is not the proper forum for this post, please convey an alternate forum.

Regards,

Ron

The 1602 is a normal display and will work with the PSoC HD44780 Controller components . Here is a program that should work.

I have built the project but have a question. Where is the schematic component located so that I may place it on the top design?

This a library you add the library to your library location then open a new project and add the library to your project using dependencies and you are ready to select the component. There is a schematic in the PDF of the library.

This is a parallel model picture and it shows how to wire the LCD module you will only have 2 digital wires but you will need the other lines.

Hello,

I think I did not phase the question correctly. Where is the component that is to dragged on to the top design schematic page?

OK, Now I see. Thank you. I added the dependencies to the project and the component is now available.

Thanks again.
