PostPosted: Thu Mar 25, 2021 9:44 am    Post subject: I2C LCD PCF8574 Adapter Library Reply with quote

'lcd_i2c.LIB' and 'bl_lcd_i2c.LIB' have been re-edited for the commercially available PCF8574 I2C LCD adapter board.

You can control multiple LCDs [up to 8] by changing the slave address of PCF8574.
Software I2C and TWI can be changed by [I2c_select].

Hi O-Family,

A fantastic contribution Very Happy
Thank you for sharing this. You did the lib as it should have been done.

I will add the lib to the distribution too if you don't mind.

Hi,

Only to inform that this new library has ceased all Proteus simulation problem that I have for some years .... now the display works for more than 10 minutes without any problem.
Tried in 3 different projects, all works perfect now !
The old library makes simulation erratic after one or two minutes...

Thanks for all people involved in this actualization !

Thx for the library.
I started compilation of the library Ver.002 dated 2021/05/13 with the LIB Manager tool and got following errors:
Code:

Error : 222   Line :   139   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [LBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File :
Error : 222   Line :   140   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [HBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File :
Error : 222   Line :   152   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [LBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File :
Error : 222   Line :   153   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [HBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File :
Error : 222   Line :   164   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [LBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File :
Error : 222   Line :   165   Illegal character [expected (, got ')' [HBYTE(TWI_ADR)]]  , in File
 

It is my first time to compile a library file. So it may be that I did something wrong.

Please be so kind and advise.
Christian

I don't know the hardware environment you have selected, so please attach a source that displays simple characters.

I did not specify any hardware. I just did the compilation with the LIB-Tool.

not all libs need to be compiled. in this case there is not need to compile it either. just include it with $LIB and the .LIB extension


if you actually want to use the lbx, the error is about : TWI_ADR it is unknown in the lib.
to solve that, put a * in front so it will be compiled when the app is compiled.

I have been trying to get this working but unfortunately it seems to elude me.I am using Microchip's mcp23008 i2c port chip, instead of the pcf8574 with a few library modifications, although I have verified the port chip to be working with correct output, I still get blank on my screen. I would also like to point out that the 'backlight' arrangement circuit appears to have a full 5Volts across the input of the transistor base emitter junction, pulled up with a 4k7 resistor.??, how the bjt is suppose to survive this is beyond my comprehension.

MCP23008 does not work with this library because the commands to I2C are completely different from PCF8574.
Did you change your library for the MCP23008?

The backlight is turned off when the output of the port is set to [L] level.

Yes, I modified the pcf8574 library to mcp23008 and the port is working but nothing on the display.

Yes, but when it is turned on, your circuit shows full 5 Volt output across the base emitter junction of the transistor? the mcp23008 can happily source 25mA
