Support for i2c LCD03 (1.9) is here...

[Th0rsten]

Hello!

I made the cheap LCD03 work with MultiWii 1.9
It has to be set to i2c control - just remove the jumper on its back.
The first two: http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/acat ... plays.html
http://shop.boxtec.ch/product_info.php/ ... s_id/40376

In MultiWii_1_9 in setup():

Code: Select all

  #if defined(LCD_LCD03)
    i2c_LCD03_init();
    i2c_LCD03_set_cursor(0,0);LCDprintChar("MultiWii");
    i2c_LCD03_set_cursor(0,1);LCDprintChar("Ready to Fly!");
  #endif

In config.h:

Code: Select all

#define LCD_LCD03       // LCD03, which is i2c

/* To use an LCD03 for configuration:
 GND to Ground
 VCC to +5V VCC
SDA - Pin A4 Mini Pro - Pin 20 Mega
SCL - Pin A5 Mini Pro - Pin 21 Mega 
(by Th0rsten) */

and find attached the new LCD.pde

This work is loosely based on the code from Danal.
I will rewrite the code to match the current MultiWii_shared/ and commit it.
As soon as I found out how.

Have fun.

Excellent!

My one heartburn about the Eagle Tree was its price. This looks great.



As hamburger said, let us know if you want help with code integration.

Hello!

It's all ready for commit. I'm only waiting for Alex providing me an account on _shared.

I was once slow to react to the i2c interface, boy was I wrong. I2C is the only way to fly.

Great Job!

Yes, i2c is a nice solution for the pro mini because you don't need the single UART.
This was what provoked me to write the code - and the fact, that I bought the wrong LCD.

Got the account from Alex - will commit in a couple of hours.
