📌 Code Examples & Usage – 20×4 I²C Character LCD (HD44780 Compatible)

📋 Overview

This 20×4 character LCD module uses the popular HD44780 controller with an I²C serial interface, allowing control using just two data wires.

Key features:

  • Display size: 20 columns × 4 rows

  • Interface: I²C (IIC)

  • Backlight colours: Blue / Green

  • Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi

  • Ideal for menus, status displays, sensor readouts, clocks, and control panels

Using I²C greatly reduces wiring compared to parallel LCDs.


🔌 Wiring (I²C)

Typical Pinout

LCD Pin Arduino Uno ESP32 (Example)
VCC 5V 5V
GND GND GND
SDA A4 GPIO21
SCL A5 GPIO22

✔ Works with 3.3 V logic (ESP32)
✔ Powered from 5 V for best contrast & backlight brightness


📦 Library Installation (Arduino IDE)

  1. Open Arduino IDE

  2. Go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries

  3. Search for LiquidCrystal I2C

  4. Install LiquidCrystal I2C by Frank de Brabander (or equivalent)


🧪 1️⃣ Arduino Example – Basic Text Display

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
// Common I2C addresses: 0x27 or 0x3F
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 20, 4);void setup() {
lcd.init();
lcd.backlight();

lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print(“AuscomTech”);

lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(“20×4 LCD Ready”);

lcd.setCursor(0, 2);
lcd.print(“I2C Interface”);

lcd.setCursor(0, 3);
lcd.print(“Arduino Example”);
}

void loop() {
}

📌 If nothing appears, try changing 0x27 to 0x3F.


🧪 2️⃣ ESP32 Example

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 20, 4);void setup() {
Wire.begin(21, 22); // SDA, SCL for ESP32
lcd.init();
lcd.backlight();

lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print(“ESP32 + 20×4 LCD”);

lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(“I2C Working OK”);
}

void loop() {
}


🔎 3️⃣ Find the I²C Address (Very Useful)

If the screen stays blank, run this I²C scanner:

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(“Scanning I2C bus…”);
}

void loop() {
for (byte addr = 1; addr < 127; addr++) {
Wire.beginTransmission(addr);
if (Wire.endTransmission() == 0) {
Serial.print(“Found device at 0x”);
Serial.println(addr, HEX);
delay(1000);
}
}
delay(5000);
}

Most LCD backpacks use 0x27 or 0x3F.


🧪 4️⃣ Display Sensor Data (Example)

int counter = 0;

void loop() {
lcd.setCursor(0, 2);
lcd.print(“Counter: “);
lcd.setCursor(9, 2);
lcd.print(counter++);

delay(1000);
}

✔ Remember to overwrite old characters with spaces when updating values.


🎚 Contrast Adjustment

  • Use the small potentiometer on the I²C backpack

  • If you see blocks on the screen but no text, adjust contrast slightly

  • If screen is completely blank, check I²C address and wiring


🧠 Tips & Troubleshooting

✔ Blank screen:

  • Check I²C address

  • Adjust contrast potentiometer

  • Confirm 5 V supply

✔ Garbled text:

  • Wrong library or address

  • Poor I²C wiring

✔ Backlight not on:

  • Ensure lcd.backlight() is called

  • Check jumper on backpack

✔ ESP32:

  • Always call Wire.begin(SDA, SCL)
