I2C LCD1602

I2C LCD1602

• The Matrix-I2C_LCD1602_Keypad module is an easy-to-use display module based on the LCD1602.
• This module integrates the LCD1602 and the MCP23017 module. It has five programmable keys which allow users to control the LCD1602's display and external devices connected to the module.
• It has a potentiometer to adjust the LCD's back light.
• The LCD1602 can display up to 16x2 characters. It has a parallel interface. You can control it via two I2C channels.
• The MCP23017 has a 16-bit remote bidirectional I/O port, high speed I2C interface, three hardware address pins which make it able to connect up to eight devices. It communicates through I2C interface and converts input to parallel signals to the LCD1602.

2 Features

• I2C interface, LCD display and backlight control
• 2.54mm spacing pin
• I2C PCB dimension (mm): 57 x 80
• LCD1602 PCB dimension (mm): 36 x 80

• Pin Spec:

3 General Description

3.1 MCP23017

• The MCP23017 has a 16-bit remote bidirectional I/O port, high speed I2C interface. These I/O can be configured to inputs and outputs. Each input/output data is kept in its register. It has three hardware address pins which make it able to connect up to eight devices. In addition it has two configurable interrupt pins INTA and INTB.
• The I2C write operation includes the control byte and register address sequence. This sequence is followed by eight bits of data from the master and an Acknowledge (ACK) from the MCP23017. The operation is ended with a Stop (P) or Restart (SR) condition being generated by the master.
• The I2C Read operation includes the control byte sequence. This sequence is followed by another control byte (including the Start condition and ACK) with the R/W bit set (R/W = 1). The MCP23017 then transmits the data contained in the addressed register. The sequence is ended with the master generating a Stop or Restart condition.
• The I2C sequential operation (Write or Read) works this way: instead of transmitting a Stop or Restart condition after a data transfer, the master clocks the next byte pointed to by the address pointer after each data transfer. The sequence is ended with the master sending a Stop or Restart condition.

3.2 LCD1602

• The connection diagram between the PCF8574 module and the LCD module is shown below:

• RS is instruction/data register selection. RW is read/write selection. E is enable signal(edge triggering). BL is back light control. D4-D7 are data bits.
• The LCD module is controlled by four data bits through which we can send instructions to control its state. Because it has eight instruction/data bits (DB7 - DB0) when writing each instruction/data we need to write the most significant four bits DB7 - DB4 first and then the least significant four bits DB3 - DB0.
• Note: the LCD module has 192 most commonly used characters stored in CGROM. When we write a common character e.g "A" it will directly display "A". In addition it can store up to eight user defined characters in RAM called CGRAM.

4 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. We put them in a git hub - git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
• the tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
• the raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi

Please follow the steps below to get the source code: Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code hub

$ git clone git://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.
