LCD1602RGB Driver

Driver for the LCD1602RGB segmented LCD, it is not intended for use with other segmented LCDs, however you may be able to use this driver for some basic functionality.

I wrote this driver for my own personal use and will maintain it and implement missing instructions when I need them, especially concerning an application I plan to work on. However feel free to submit a pull request.

This my first real embedded Rust project, and I used the following resources:

• PCA9633 Datasheet
• AiP21068 Datasheet
• Embedded HAL Docs
• Raspberry Pi Pico Pinout Datasheet
• LCD1602-RGB Datasheet
• LCD1602 i2c driver by JohnSL
• Pi Pico Project Template

Usage:

Raspberry Pi Pico

Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/rp-rs/rp2040-project-template

Include latest version in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
lcd1602rgb-rs = "0.2.0"

Use this example code in the main.rs of the rp2040 project template.

let mut scl_pin = pins.gpio15.into_mode::<gpio::FunctionI2C>();
let mut sda_pin = pins.gpio14.into_mode::<gpio::FunctionI2C>();
let i2c_dev = i2c::I2C::new_controller(pac.I2C1, sda_pin, scl_pin, 400_u32.kHz(), &mut pac.RESETS, clocks.system_clock.freq());
let mut display_controller = Display::new(i2c_dev, delay).unwrap();
display_controller.write_text("Hello, World! How are you?").unwrap();
let mut r: u8 = 0;
let mut g: u8 = 255;
let mut b: u8 = 128;
let mut r_set = true;
let mut g_set = true;
let mut b_set = true;

loop {
    if r == 255 {
        r_set = false;
    } else if r == 0 {
        r_set = true;
    }
    if r_set {
        r += 1;
    } else {
        r -= 1;
    }
    if g == 255 {
        g_set = false;
    } else if g == 0 {
        g_set = true;
    }
    if g_set {
        g += 1;
    } else {
        g -= 1;
    }
    if b == 255 {
        b_set = false;
    } else if b == 0 {
        b_set = true;
    }
    if b_set {
        b += 1;
    } else {
        b -= 1;
    }
    display_controller.delay.delay_ms(10);
    display_controller.backlight_colour(r, g, b).unwrap();
}

To Do:

• Remove platform-specific dependencies. 238d4c0
• Implement on/off according to specification sheet.
• Implement remaining missing instructions.
• Verify behaviour of AiP31068 when writing more than 16 characters to one line.
  • Adjust functionality accordingly.
• Cleanup of code.
  • Improve consistency.
  • Organise.
• Find alternative to emotes for checkboxes in README.md.
• Create instructions for usage with other platforms.
• Improve Raspberry Pi Pico usage instructions.
