LCD_IO 12

Using connection mode 12:

The LCD is controlled via I2C. A type 12 is the Ywmjkdz I2C adapter with potentiometer variable resistor) bent over top of chip. To use mode 12 you must define the I2C ports as normal in your GCB code. Then, define the LCD type, set the I2C_address of the LCD adapter and the LCD speed, if required.

Relevant Constants:

These constants are used to control settings for the Liquid Crystal Display routines included with Great Cow BASIC. To set them, place a line in the main program file that uses #define to assign a value to the particular constant.

When using 2-bit mode only three constants must be set - all others can be ignored.

Constant Name	Controls	Value
LCD_IO	I/O mode	12
LCD_I2C_Address_1	Address of I2C adapter	Default 0x4E could also be 0x27
LCD_I2C_Address_2	Address of I2C adapter	Not set
LCD_I2C_Address_2	Address of I2C adapter	Not set
LCD_I2C_Address_2	Address of I2C adapter	Not set

To set the correct address see the picture below:
