In this tutorial WE will use the BREAKOUT of the GROVE Pressure-Module BME280 together with a NORMAL I2C LCD1602 display, ONLY 4 wires to connect. At that moment I didn’t yet receive my ordered GROVE LCD1602 display, so the suspense was great to find out… I was curious to find out if that would ALSO work and it did with a few changes of code.
Check out the wiring below, please:

In this tutorial WE will use the BREAKOUT of the GROVE Pressure-Module BME280 together with a GROVE LCD1602 display. As the GROVE LCD1602 display is not included in the Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino, WE will need to buy it! Here below the address:
Connections of the GROVE BME280 and the GROVE LCD1602 on I2C BUS
.
Well, as you can see in above photo there is NO cabling!! You just need to connect the connectors from the BME280 and the LCD1602 to the I2C BUS. Less than a minute work and you are ready to upload the code, which you will find in below link:

Social Distancing Monitor with Alarm, Arduino NANO and I2C LCD1602 Display
In times of the Coronavirus-Crisis (Covid_19), it might be GOOD to respect the 2 meters distance to avoid getting infected!!! But not everybody can estimate distances, nor are ALL persons respecting the 2 meters rule!!! So came the idea to build an easy to realize gadget, which measures the distance and gives an alarm when the 2 meters are not respected.
First of all, like usual, I was searching the internet to find out if there isn’t already such a project around. And YES, there is one; I found a tutorial with an Arduino MEGA and a LCD1602 ISP with provided code as well. Please check below:
This tutorial gave me the idea to start. Instead an Arduino MEGA, I used an Arduino NANO; and instead of an LCD1602 ISP, I used an LCD1602 I2C.
Thus meaning: it needs a bit to adjust the code in the sketch in the above mentioned tutorial and it’s LESS cabling, wiring needed to connect the I2C LCD1602 display.
WE played around already with I2C LCD1602 in my tutorial below, please check:
All you need now is to put everything into a case. I was choosing a cardboard (recycling) 😉

WHO doesn’t have that error already with LCD-Displays: Once uploaded (compiling) the code to the Arduino IDE there could be some errors happening, it happens to me… Please check PIC below:
Click image, please, to enlarge
.
Well I made some searches on the internet and I found the right answer on a forum about this error, which says that one should scan the I2C Address of the device and replace the “lcd.init();” by “lcd.begin (0x3F,16,2);” whereby “0x3F” is the I2C Address of my LCD1602/I2C module. I scanned to find out the I2C Addess with this sketch, please check here:
Here below the results of the scan of the I2C-Address, shown in the Serial-Monitor of the Arduino IDE:.

SO, make sure to FIRST scan the I2C-Address through the above mentioned Sketch, will save you a lot of stress! 😉
TIP: Use a DYMO, print out the I2C-Addresses and glue them on the backside of the LCD1602 Display, so you know for next projects WHAT I2C-Address the module has! 😉 In a couple of weeks you wouldn’t remind it anymore!

How-To transform an LCD1602 SPI Sketch to an LCD1602 I2C Sketch
We were already playing around, as seen on my tutorials below, with the Temperature/Humidity sensors DHT11, DHT22 and LCD1602, without I2C possibility. There were a lot of cables to connect, we will try out this time to use a LCD with I2C bus connection as it uses ONLY 4 wires to connect. It’s a perfect project for newbies in coding as they will see the measured values directly on the LCD screen, the success and happy factor is guaranteed!
Let us have first a look on the wiring (cabling) which is actually very easy, have a look below please:
.
====> Click image, please, to enlarge.
The wiring (cabling) will take about +/- 5-10 minutes depending on your own rhythm… Let us have a look on the coding now: we will use exactly the same code (Sketch) as in our first tutorial here, which we will change just a bit to fit for I2C LCD1602 display:
Copy&Paste the code from above tutorial where it is marked “I also made an example where I display the results on a LCD. Here’s the source code of that example:” and paste it into the Arduino IDE. Connect the Arduino NANO with your computer now. Open the Arduino IDE and choose the board “Arduino NANO”, see screenshot below, please:
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
Next step, on the same Arduino IDE select the Processor:
.
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
TIP: when the LED on the Arduino NANO is lightning GREEN it is an original NANO and you must choose “Atmega328P”; if the LED is lightning RED, it is a clone and you must choose “Atmega328P (Old Bootloader)”.
.
NOW it is about time to adapt the code (Sketch) to an I2C-LCD1602 display, let us have a look on the Sketch (the original):
.
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
As we can see in line 10: the library is meant for a normal LCD display, it needs to get changed for a “I2C LCD Library”.
In line 15: the same it shows the wiring pins for a normal LCD display, it needs to get changed for a “I2C LCD” display.
In line19: It is BETTER to add as well the I2C-Address, mostly “0x27” OR “0x3F”.
That is NOT much to change, we will see in the screenshot below the How-To:
.
Click image please, to enlarge.
.
By enlarging (click on the image) you will see by comparing where the changes are. I commented in the lines the WHY… Try it out to change it yourselves or just download the Sketch (Code) here below who is working:
Copy&Paste this code into a NEW Sketch on the Arduino IDE and upload now the code to the Arduino NANO (or Arduino UNO) and enjoy it!
.
Stay tuned for next blog post(s) 😉

Copy&Paste this code into a NEW Sketch on the Arduino IDE and upload now the code to the Arduino NANO (or Arduino UNO) and enjoy it! 😉 Here below a photo of the working sketch:
.
.
And in case of that you have a I2C LCD with 20×4 configuration it works also, check photo below please:
.
.
As you can see the two first lines from 4 possible lines are only used, that is normal as the Sketch (Code) is actually written for a 2 line LCD. BUT we can add some lines of code in the original Sketch to make it working on 4 lines, which is very easy actually, check below please for explication:
.
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
As you can see in line 30 in above screenshot of the code ===> “lcd.setCursor(0,0); // Sets the location at which subsequent text written to the LCD will be displayed” the the line is set to “0” which means the first line on the LCD1602. By changing the value to “lcd.setCursor(0,1)” in line 30 and in line 34 to “”lcd.setCursor(0,2)” the text will be displayed as follows, see photo below please:
.
.
NOW, as you can see, we have two lines without any text where we could bring in some text. Let us try to find out HOW! We have seen already that “lcd.setCursor(0,0) above. We used in above example the lines 2 and 3 from 4 lines which were displayed as shown in above photo, right?
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
Check lines 26 and 27 and also lines 37 and 38: I added them, do the same and the text between the “………” you may change it with your OWN text what will result in following, check photo below, please:

BUT wait, my text looks centralized and yours NOT, HOW?! Check photo below, please which explains:

Sometimes it might be useful to write a text which should be displayed on a LCD display without any cabling, that is possible to do over your own Wi-Fi network and a NodeMCU ESP8266 module. And the project uses ONLY 4 wires as the LCD1602 gets addressed over the I2C bus. Let us remember WHAT the I2C bus is in our previous tutorial:
Let us have a look on the video below who shows how it works:
.
.
SO, knowing now how it works, let us have a look on the Sketch (Code). I changed a bit the code, as I am using an I2C LCD1602 and I added as well some more text displayed on the LCD1602 display. Check below, please, the original code. I will explain WHAT could (should) GET changed later with a screenshot of the changes and/or a download…
The Arduino code and the library for this project can be found at the links below. The library has to be saved in the Arduino libraries folder of the same name:
The download is a text file created with OpenOffice, copy the content and place it into a new Sketch on the Arduino IDE. ALL you have to do now is to change some lines, e.g.:
in line 47: Enter your SSID
in line 48 Enter your Wi-Fi Network Password
See PIC below, please:
.
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
This should work for you now; in case of that you wouldn’t see the display working find here the trouble-shooting:
Mostly it is that your LCD1602 uses a different I2C-Address and/or that the ESP8266 isn’t allowed in your network for security reasons, to make sure check my blog post here, please:
Here below a working Sketch which shows how it is working: for security reasons you won’t see my SSID, nor my real IP-Address! 😉

I was looking for a simple project for beginners, newbies on Coding and MakerED. A looong time ago since we did a project with ONLY four (4) wires, isn’t it! Well here is one which is very easy to create, a “Scrolling text on a LCD1602 with “I2C-Bus”. In previous blog post we were already using and explaining the “I2C-Bus” with an LCD, so it will be easy to create this one…
In the tutorial are mentioned also the download link for the code in the upper side of the website, download it and check it; there are some bugs in 😉 I will explain where to look for changing the code, it’s actually very easy, here we GO!
The code looks like this (partial view for WHAT is interesting us…).
.
Click image, please, to enlarge.
.
When we look at line 6, it is just a “comment” and so it will result in an ERROR, it should become uncommented by ” // “. In my case I didn’t get any text displayed, so I had a look at line 18 which is ” lcd.begin (16,2);” and I changed it into ===> “lcd.begin (0x3F,16,2);” which worked!! SO, that’s my recommendations, otherwise the Sketch works fine and you can change the lines 9 and 10 where you bring in your own text; NOT more than 16 characters, please 😉 Well, give it a try and find out yourselves… Here below a screenshot with the working code…

Click the image, please, to enlarge it and find the necessary instructions to make the code work correctly, IF you have the same problem as I had.
Please check video below to see the Sketch in action, e.g.

SO, now that your sketch is working, play a bit around while changing the variables, such as:
delays
text
etc.
Have fun and stay tuned for next blog posts 😉

Check this video tutorial which explains very well about I2C:
.
.
Let us NOW first watch the video tutorial to see about WHAT this tutorial is…
.
.
The video and the code description in the Sketch are in Portuguese, BUT DON’T worry, I will give you later some screenshots with English text which you will need to change in the code; there are anyway some lines of code to add (change…) to make it working correctly! But let us FIRST have a look on the PINOUT of the RFID RC522 to see WHAT we have to connect.
.
.
So, let us now connect the RFID-RC522 to the Arduino UNO or the Arduino NANO, I used a Arduino NANO and its working perfectly! Check the translated (Google translate) wiring instructions.
.
Make sure to connect the RFID-RC522 to 3,3 Volts and NOT to 5 Volts, you will fry the device otherwise!!
.
.
Click PIC , please, to enlarge.
.
As we can see from the bove there are 7 wires to connect from 8 possible connections on the RFIF RC522 device; the “interrupt pin (IRQ)” isn’t needed! SO, lets connect these pins to the Arduino UNO, or as I did to the Arduino NANO; it works on both! Next step is to connect the LCD1602 I2C to the Arduino, it’s pretty simple, check below please. ONLY 4 wires!
.
.
The wiring done, NOW we can download the code (Sketch) and upload it to our Arduino UNO, or NANO through the Arduino IDE, please find the download link below:
Once uploaded (compiling) the code there could be some errors happening, it happens to me… please check PIC below:

Well I made some searches on the internet and I found the right answer on a forum about this error, which sais that one should scan the I2C Address of the device and replace the “lcd.init();” by “lcd.begin (0x3F,16,2);” whereby “0x3F” is the I2C Address of my LCD1602/I2C module.
