. . LCD1602-I2C isn’t working. 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 […]

. . Text on I2C-LCD1602 Display written over Web-Page 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 […]
