NHD-0420D3Z-FL-GWB-V3 no I2C code example for Arduino??
I am looking for a basic code sample that connects the NHD-0420D3Z-FL-GWB-V3 display to my Arduino Uno using the I2C protocol. There doesn't appear to be one I am new so I may have missed it somewhere and any help pointing me in the right direction even if it is to teach me is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi I am using the Newhaven NHD-0216S3Z-FL-GBW-V3 16x2 Character display
using an Arduino Leonardo, with I2C communication
For this display it is important to set the Arduino's I2C communication speed to 100Khz
One way to do this is with the following statement, in void setup():
TWBR = 100000; //sets I2C spaeed to 100kHz very important
The NHD-0216S3Z-FL-GBW-V3 manual states the default I2C address is 0x50, but it was actually 0x28
This code works for the NHD-0216S3Z-FL-GBW-V3 on the I2C bus:// ----------------------------------------------------------------
#include <Wire.h> //I2C library
const byte LCDa = 0x28; //LCD address on I2C bus
void setup() {
TWBR = 100000; //sets I2C speed to 100kHz very important
LCDclear();
delay(500); // for observation only can be removed
LCDline1col1(); // position cursor Line #1, col#1
Wire.beginTransmission(LCDa); // Write to LCD Line #1, col#1
Wire.write("Hello World 2017");
Wire.endTransmission();
LCDline2col1(); // position cursor Line #2, col#1
Wire.beginTransmission(LCDa); // Write to LCD Line #2, col#1
Wire.write("Welcome Home eh?");
Wire.endTransmission();
}
void loop()
{
}
// Clear the NHD Extended LCD Screen
void LCDclear() {
Wire.beginTransmission(LCDa);
Wire.write (0xFE);
Wire.write(0x51);
Wire.endTransmission();
delay(2);
}
// Set Cursor to Line #1, Col #1 NHD Extended LCD Screen
void LCDline1col1() {
Wire.beginTransmission(LCDa);
Wire.write (0xFE);
Wire.write(0x45);
Wire.write(0x00);
Wire.endTransmission();
delay(2);
}
// Set Cursor to Line #2, Col #1 NHD Extended LCD Screen
void LCDline2col1() {
Wire.beginTransmission(LCDa);
Wire.write (0xFE);
Wire.write(0x45);
Wire.write(0x40);
Wire.endTransmission();
delay(2);
}
Scanner code to read all I2C devices attaced that worked for me is:
/*****************************************************
* name:I2C_Address
* function:read the address's of the I2C devices
* Connection:
* I2C Leonardo
* GND GND
* VCC 5V
* SDA 2 Leonardo (UNO A4) (pin20 in mega2560)
* SCL 3 Leonardo (UNO A5) (pin21 in mega2560)
********************************************************/
#include <Wire.h>
void setup()
{
TWBR = 100000; //sets I2C spaeed to 100kHz very important
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("\nI2C Scanner");
}
void loop()
{
byte error, address;
int nDevices;
Serial.println("Scanning...");
nDevices = 0;
for(address = 1; address < 127; address++ )
{
// The i2c_scanner uses the return value of
// the Write.endTransmisstion to see if
// a device did acknowledge to the address.
Wire.beginTransmission(address);
error = Wire.endTransmission();
if (error == 0)
{
Serial.print("I2C device found at address 0x");
if (address<16)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(address,HEX);
Serial.println(" !");
nDevices++;
}
else if (error==4)
{
Serial.print("Unknow error at address 0x");
if (address<16)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.println(address,HEX);
}
}
if (nDevices == 0)
Serial.println("No I2C devices found\n");
else
Serial.println("done\n");
delay(5000); // wait 5 seconds for next scan
}Newhaven should publish better Arduino Code examples, and reminding people that the manual states 100Khz max,
I spent several hours on this before I found this on the Arduino Forum
TWBR = 100000; //sets I2C speed to 100kHz very important0 -
Hi All, just an amendment to the last code
the statement TWBR = 100000, is incorrect
see http://www.gammon.com.au/i2c
Where the TWBR value is defined in the formula
I2C freq = CPU Clock / ( 16+(2*TWBR*Prescaler)
Default Prescaler =1 and the formula I2C freq = 16000000/(16+144) = 100000
For a TWBR = 12, Prescaler =1, I2C freq = 400 kHz
For a TWBR = 32, Prescaler =1, I2C freq = 200 kHz
For a TWBR = 72, Prescaler =1, I2C freq = 100 kHz
For a TWBR = 152, Prescaler =1, I2C freq = 50 kHz
I installed Arduino v1.8.3 and tried to compile the code with TWBR = 100000
and got a warning that the TWBR value was not correct and was truncated, posibly to 100 since all values of TWBR are under 255
the statement
TWBR = 152; //sets I2C speed to 50kHz for NHD LCD display compiled OK with out any warnings, and the display ran OK
Under Reference in the Wire Library, the I2C command
Wire.setClock(100000); // is valid for I2C speed of 100 KHz
In my case with the NHD-0216S3Z-FL-GBW-V3 16 x 2 Display, with builtin I2C,
would only work properly if the I2C frequency value
was set at or below 70000, anything higher, and the display would not show all of the characters sent properly, some characters would be missing, and others in the wrong location.
Wire.setClock(100000); // did not work
Wire.setClock(90000); // did not work
Wire.setClock(80000); // did not work
but
Wire.setClock(70000); // did work
So there are two ways to change the I2C clock speed0
