Interfacing with Arduino I2C LCD

[rmteo]

None of which have been critical or condescending.

Agreed +1.

Norohs,

If you have seen any of my code you will see that I am the last on to criticize others code. You original post seemed like it could have been an advertisement, if it was it should be moved to another section.

Being it was to show a project working, then posting your code could help someone. Do not worry about what your code looks like or how inefficient you think it is. As long as it works. Sometimes that is all someone needs.

it should be moved to another section.

Feel free to move it.

Has anyone done this?

I have downloaded the Aduino LCD libraries and there are differences between them and the above code.

[Demon]

Just curious where RETURN right before LCDWRITE subroutine returns to?

Don't have one to test.

From what I have read the code is correct in that it will print to the LCD on a one shot basis then return to nowhere.

Return to nowhere?

Does anyone have one to test?

Having used serial LCDs which were easy to use by sending ascii commands and data using serout2 these look very difficult. I just wonder why make something difficult when there is an easier way.

I have done more research and I believe that all Arduino I2C LCDs are not the same. I guess it depends on the manufacturers implementation and the chips used on the backpack.
