raspberry pi lcd display i2c manufacturer

Raspberry Pi 16×2 LCD I2C Interfacing and Python Programming– I have been using 16×2 LCD for quite a long time in different Arduino and IoT related projects. You know we have two types of the 16×2 LCD, the normal one used more wires and the other one is based on the I2C interface which needs only two wires.

If you have the plain version of this display then this tutorial is not for you. The plain version is not practical anyway  it would use a lot of GPIO Pins and it has a complicated programming requirement.

With this version you need only four pins and the programming model is very simple. Other than the display you will need some wires. This is what I will be using.

The right-hand side matches the backpack pins, while the left hand-side will go to a breadboard. You also need a small Phillips screwdriver to adjust the contrast.

The backpack module uses the I-squred-C (or I2C) protocol to communicate with the Raspberry Pi, which uses only two wires: SDA and SCL (data and clock). Please note that the display is a 5 volt device, and it is powered by 5 volts, but due to design of the I2C protocol, and the fact that the Raspberry Pi is the controlling device, it is safe to connect such display to the Raspberry Pi directly.

I suggest using wires of different colors to connect the LCD display. This minimizes the risk of damage due to incorrect connections. For example, I’m using

I use the cobbler connector with a breadboard, but the display can be connected to the GPIO headers directly, you’ll just need to use different wires. 5 volts and ground connections are close to each other here, while the SDA and SCL line are connected on the opposite side.

Before you start using the I2C 16×2 LCD display with Python, you need to make sure that the I2C protocol is enabled on your Raspberry Pi. You can use the sudo raspi-config utility to take care of that. This program is navigated using keyboard arrows, tab and the Enter key. Look for I2C in the interfacing options and enable it. Enabling I2C requires a reboot.

Once the system is back you can check whether the I2C bus is active, I2C protocol supports multiple devices connected to the same bus, and it identifies each device by their hardware address. The i2cdetect command can be used to see what is connected and what the addresses are.

And you can also adjust the contrast using a small Phillips screwdriver. Set it somewhere in the middle. Be careful not to short anything with the screwdriver while you make the adjustment. Looks like my display is ready to go.

The 27 hexadecimal addresses happen to be the most common, but your display’s address may be different. For example, it could be 3f. This will depend on the chip version of the backpack module. As long as the i2cdetect command shows the display is connected, you are good to go.

The easiest way to program this 16×2 I2C LCD display in Python is by using a dedicated library. There are many to choose from. I like things simple, so the library I recommend is rpi_lcd.

This library has the default 27 address hard-coded. If your display has a different address you will need to change it. You need to find the library on your system and the following command should do that for you.

I use the clear function at the end of the program, otherwise the message will stay on the display after the program ends. The two numbers (1 and 2) at the end of the text function indicate which line of the display to use.

This is an opportunity to adjust the contrast, especially if the display does not show anything, if you don’t see the “Hello, Raspberry Pi!” message. The adjustment only affects the letters, not the backlight. The backlight in this model is not adjustable, it’s always on, but you can turn it off by removing the jumper on the backpack.

You can display the digital information or English sentense on the LCD screen by using Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other MCU which supports i2c protocol.

This new 3.3V serial character LCD is a good display tool to output information from microcontroller platforms such as Raspberry Pi Pico, microbit, or 3.3V Arduino.

It comes with both Inter IC (I2C or IIC) and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) interface. With 2 lines x 16 characters display and 5×8 dots with cursor surely the best choice for many makers to display their data. The power supply required is 3.3V+ and compatible with most of the MCU available in the market. So in this tutorial, we will demonstrate the setup and program of the Raspberry Pi Pico to display on this LCD. Let’s go!

If you are new and have a fresh Pi Pico, you might need this step to help you. You can refer to this tutorial How to Set Up and Program Raspberry Pi Pico to help you set up your new Raspberry Pi Pico. If you confirmed that your Pi Pico is already been installed with MicroPython, you can skip this STEP and go straight to the next step.

Boot up the computer to program the display. In this tutorial, I am using Raspberry Pi 400 as my computer to access Thonny Python IDE for coding. You can use any computer or laptop as long as it has Thonny Python IDE to program the Pi Pico. To program the display, we need the library or the “driver” of this LCD. You can get the library at this GitHub LCM1602-14_LCD_Library created by Bhavithiran. The following picture will show you on how to download the file from GitHub:

I2C or Inter-Integrated Circuit is the communication protocol that only uses two wires for the communication which are data (SDA) and another, the clock (SCL). The communication address between this LCD and the device is 62 (DEC)or0x3E. First, let’s program to display “Hello World” on this LCD with I2C protocol using MicroPython. Below shows the circuit diagram to set up the LCD display with I2C protocol on Pi Pico :

Enter the lib folder underMicroPython devices section. At the ‘This computer’ files location, find the LCD_I2C.py name then right click it and click the Upload to /lib.We can see that the file was copied under the MicroPython device section.

Right click the hello_world_i2c.py file under This computer section and click the Upload to / to upload the file into Pi Pico. We can see the file was copied under the MicroPython device section.

If you want to maintain LCD text display in Pi Pico without needed to always execute with Thonny Python IDE, you need to save the file name as main.py . Find ‘file’ at the right above of the Thonny Python IDE, click it and find the ‘save as’.

SPI or Serial Peripheral Interface is the four wire-based full-duplex communication protocol that consists of four wires for the communication which are MOSI (master out slave in), MISO (master in slave out), SCL(serial clock that produces by the master) and SS(slave select line which use to select specific slave during the communication). Here, we will learn on how to display “Hello World” on this LCD with SPI protocol using MicroPython. Below show the circuit diagram to setup the LCD display with SPI protocol on Pi Pico :

Open the Thonny Python IDE, then plug the Pi Pico onto the computer. If the system does not detect, click the Stop/Restart Backened button. Make sure that lib folder already been created. If the lib folder does not created yet, you can go to STEP 1 under I2C protocol steps for assisting.

Enter the lib folder under MicroPython devices section. Under the ‘This computer’ files location, find the LCD_SPI.py name then right click it and click the Upload to /lib.We can see that the file was copied under the MicroPython device section.

Exit the lib folder under MicroPython device section, then enter the Examples folder under This Computer section for us to upload the program in Pi Pico.

Right click the hello_world_spi.py file at This computer section and click the Upload to / to upload the file into Pi Pico. We can see the file was copied under the MicroPython device section.

Find the hello_world_spi.py file under MicroPython device section then click it. Find the Run current script the green look play button to execute the program.

If you want to maintain LCD text display in Pi Pico without needed to always execute with Thonny Python IDE, you need to save the file name as main.py. Find ‘file’ at the right above of the Thonny Python IDE, click it and find the ‘save as’.

As we know, Pi Pico was coming with a temperature sensor built-in. So, how about we make some application with it and display the temperature on LCD. This could help us to revise what we learnt from above. Below I included the code for both protocols, you may modify, improve and it is good for you to code by yourself. The explanation of how the code works are been included in the code(comment view).

In the conclusion, this 3V3 Serial character LCD is an amazing display device because of available in two types of serial communication. This could ease people who want to use SPI communication at the same time experiment with I2C. The table below shows the simple comparison between two communication protocols for this product.

hello_world_spi.pyand hello_world_i2c.pyare only the example code for you to try to run and see whether the display is working or not. You may improve, modify, update or create your own code. However, always include the library due to the hardware instruction set so that the display can work.

LCD screens are useful and found in many parts of our life. At the train station, parking meter, vending machines communicating brief messages on how we interact with the machine they are connected to. LCD screens are a fun way to communicate information in Raspberry Pi Pico projects and other Raspberry Pi Projects. They have a big bright screen which can display text, numbers and characters across a 16 x 2 screen. The 16 refers to 16 characters across the screen, and the 2 represents the number of rows we have. We can get LCD screens with 20x2, 20x4 and many other configurations, but 16x2 is the most common.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to connect an LCD screen, an HD44780, to a Raspberry Pi Pico via the I2C interface using the attached I2C backpack, then we will install a MicroPython library via the Thonny editor and learn how to use it to write text to the display, control the cursor and the backlight.

2. Import four librariesof pre-written code. The first two are from the Machine library and they enable us to use I2C and GPIO pins. Next we import the sleep function from Time enabling us to pause the code. Finally we import the I2C library to interact with the LCD screen.from machine import I2C, Pin

3. Create an objecti2c to communicate with the LCD screen over the I2C protocol. Here we are using I2C channel 0, which maps SDA to GP0 and SCL to GP1.i2c = I2C(0, sda=Pin(0), scl=Pin(1), freq=400000)

4. Create a variableI2C_ADDR,which will store the first I2C address found when we scan the bus. As we only have one I2C device connected, we only need to see the first [0] address returned in the scan.I2C_ADDR = i2c.scan()[0]

5. Create an objectlcdto set up the I2C connection for the library. It tells the library what I2C pins we are using, set via the i2c object, the address of our screen, set via I2C_ADDRand finally it sets that we have a screen with two rows and 16 columns.lcd = I2cLcd(i2c, I2C_ADDR, 2, 16)

6. Create a loopto continually run the code, the first line in the loop will print the I2C address of our display to Thonny’s Python Shell.while True:

8. Write two lines of textto the screen. The first will print “I2C Address:” followed by the address stored inside the I2C_ADDR object. Then insert a new line character “\n” and then write another line saying “Tom’s Hardware" (or whatever you want it to say). Pause for two seconds to allow time to read the text.lcd.putstr("I2C Address:"+str(I2C_ADDR)+"\n")

9. Clear the screenbefore repeating the previous section of code, but this time we display the I2C address of the LCD display using its hex value. The PCF8574T chip used in the I2C backpack has two address, 0x20 and 0x27 and it is useful to know which it is using, especially if we are using multiple I2C devices as they may cause a clash on the bus.lcd.clear()

12. Turn the backlight back onand then hide the cursor. Sometimes, a flashing cursor can detract from the information we are trying to communicate.lcd.backlight_on()

13. Create a for loopthat will print the number 0 to 19 on the LCD screen. Note that there is a 0.4 second delay before we delete the value and replace it with the next. We have to delete the text as overwriting the text will make it look garbled.for i in range(20):

Save and runyour code. As with any Python script in Thonny, Click on File >> Saveand save the file to your Raspberry Pi Pico. We recommend calling it i2c_lcd_test.py. When ready, click on the Green play buttonto start the code and watch as the test runs on the screen.

I am planning to put a power button on my raspberry pi 3b+ which uses the PIN 5 in order for me to shut it down and turn it on again when I wanted to. However, pin 5 is I2C CLOCK which is used for the I2C LCD. Now, my problem is I need them both. Are there alternative pins that I can use for my I2C LCD? Thank you so much!
