物联网开发笔记（25）- 使用Micropython开发ESP32开发板之控制LCD1602显示屏

 这一节我们讲解了如何控制LCD1602显示屏，显示两行字。

 

一、目的

        使用MicroPython开发ESP32开发板控制LCD1602显示屏

二、环境

        ESP32 + LCD1602显示屏 + Thonny IDE + 面包板（非必须）+ 几根杜邦线（为了方便讲解，这里使用Wokwi仿真）

I2C配置的有下图的黑色小板（小班上蓝色的为调节LCD亮度的旋钮，旁边是PCF8574T芯片，相当于是开发板和LCD显示屏的桥梁作用）：

标准配置的如下图：

 

接线图：

注意需要使用开发板上的5V电压，而不是3.3V。真实环境下使用3.3V会无法显示或者显示很暗。

三、LCD1602显示屏介绍

       请查看官方文档：

wokwi-lcd1602 Reference | Wokwi DocsAn LCD with 2 lines, 16 characters per line.https://docs.wokwi.com/parts/wokwi-lcd1602      LCD1602显示屏有两种：一种是I2C的（4个针脚），两一种是标准的（16个针脚）。

I2C配置模拟控制LCD模块的PCF8574T芯片。

      I2C配置（4个针脚）：

     

       标准配置（16个针脚）：

        

四、下面举个例子给大家演示一下LCD1602显示屏的使用方法

先给大家讲解一下怎么获得1602LCD的地址：我们打开官方网站，查看：

Quick reference for the ESP32 — MicroPython 1.19.1 documentationhttp://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp32/quickref.html#software-i2c-bus

 使用以上代码就可以打印出1602lcd显示屏的地址。

from machine import Pin, SoftI2C

i2c = SoftI2C(sda=Pin(15), scl=Pin(2), freq=100000)

lcdAddr = i2c.scan() # scan for devices
print(lcdAddr)  # 打印出lcd的地址

 从上图可以看到地址是39。

上代码：

main.py

import time
from machine import SoftI2C, Pin
from esp32_i2c_1602lcd import I2cLcd

DEFAULT_I2C_ADDR = 0x27  # lcd1602的地址是0x27
i2c = SoftI2C(sda=Pin(15),scl=Pin(2),freq=100000)  # 定义一个SoftI2C的对象，指定sda和scl的GPIO口，并设置好通信的频率
lcd = I2cLcd(i2c, DEFAULT_I2C_ADDR, 2, 16)  # 定义一个I2CLcd对象，设置模式为i2c，地址，行数，行的大小16个字节

for i in range(1, 10):
    lcd.clear()  # 清屏
    lcd.putstr("...{}...\n".format(i))  # 显示第一行数据，\n为换行符
    lcd.putstr("I love Shanghai")   # 显示第二行数据
    time.sleep(1)

 六、扩展

在实际产品开发中，开发的GPIO口等是十分珍贵的资源，我们常用i2c模式来进行开发，减少IO口的占用，同时布线也十分简单。

我在GitHub上找到LCD1602的驱动，其中包含其他开发板的LCD1602驱动，大家有空可以学习一下。

GitHub - dhylands/python_lcd: Python based library for talking to character based LCDs.

你也可以去Micropython论坛寻找有用的资料：
