LiquidCrystal_I2C not compatible with ESP core ver. 2.6.0+ ? #3

cniedzi · 2021-12-25T13:28:02Z

Hi,

I successfuly use your LiquidCrystal_I2C library with Wemos D1 mini Pro with ESP core 2.5.0.
With any ESP core version starting from 2.6.0 or higher, the 16x2 display shows nothing :(

re esp8266/Arduino#8422
My understanding is that you have not tried Cores 3.0.0+, since the lib can't be built at all b/c we added -Werror=return-type and size_t write() is incorrectly omitting the return.

I've just tried 3.0.2 and the below code has been succesfully compiled and loaded into Wemos D1 mini Pro. LCD doesn't display any text. When I remove lcd.createChar(1,pl_S);, the LCD shows only one char "T".

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

uint8_t pl_S[8] PROGMEM = {
  0b00010,
  0b01111,
  0b10100,
  0b10000,
  0b01110,
  0b00001,
  0b11110,
  0b00000
};

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

void setup() {
    lcd.begin(4,5); 
    lcd.backlight();
    lcd.createChar(1,pl_S);
    lcd.home();  
    lcd.print("TEST");
} 

void loop() {}

To summarize - it does work with ESP core 2.5.0; it doesn't work with 2.5.1+ (maybe something related to wire.h was changed in 2.5.1...)
Maybe @lucasmaziero can take a look on this issue.

mcspr · 2021-12-25T21:08:27Z

Does it work without the PROGMEM for the char array?

- uint8_t pl_S[8] PROGMEM = {
+ uint8_t pl_S[8] = {

Nope
