Control a Display with I2C in MCC

[Niklas K. (niklaskoch)]

Hello,



I am currently programming a dispaly with a PIC16F1827(MCC). The display 
has 4 lines and 20 columns 
(https://asset.conrad.com/media10/add/160267/c1/-/en/002238796DS00/datenblatt-2238796-display-elektronik-lcd-display-weiss-20-x-4-pixel-b-x-h-x-t-98-x-60-x-116-mm-dem20486fgh-pw.pdf). 
For the beginning I would like to output a letter or a word but I have 
no idea how to do that in MCC.



I would be very happy if someone can help me, because I need this 
information for a school project.



Thank you

This display seems to be compatible to HD44780. Search for that number.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I use the PCF8574T - bus.

Ypu will also find lots of code example for HD55780 displays via PC8574. 
This is a very common use case in the Arduino world.

The problem is, that I use a PIC16F1827 and not an Arduino.

Which programming language and
which compiler are you used ?

Are you not able port a few lines of C code to another microcontroller?

Anyway: I am pretty sure that you can find examples as well for a PIC 
microcontroller. This is common hardware - really.

Of course you should use i2c routines fitting the PIC.
