Werk
I am building a stand alone AQ unit for a friend but cannot get the LCD to display anything.
I have changed the display, (it works on another unit if i change the address in the software to suit) but not with the new build.
I have not installed the Tx socket or Tx unit and LED.
Code is attached
Regards
Jim

Hi Jim,

If a particular LCD module works with one unit at a given address, it should work with any other unit using the the same I2C address.
Having or not the TX module installed doesn't affect the functionality of the LCD display.

Werk,
I understand the address issues but I could not get the system to boot.
I finally solved the issue, it was the HTU21D, I have no idea why but by disconnecting it the unit boots as it should and I replaced it with a spare and now all is working well.
On the issue of 20 x4 LCD’s I recently received a couple of serial units without the I2C module, and realising my mistake, I ordered the modules and attached them but they will not work with my AQ unit.
I noticed that the only difference is that the two capacitors C1 andC2 are missing from the two ex serial modules.
Do you know what the values of these SMD caps are? C2 appears to be a tantalum as it has a polarity marking, because I am sure that if fitted they would be usable again
Regards
Jim

Hi Jim,

Do not fully understand what you are dealing with serial modules? I'm used to buying both parts separately, and after soldering I've never experienced any problems.
For example on Aliexpress:

LCD 2004 5V yellow-green - the price is USD 3.29
I2C interface LCD 1602 2004 - the price USD 0.94

Good luck!

I also order i2c modules separately and solder them. It is necessary to make bridges of welds on A0 A1 and A2 to define the address, after the address does not correspond to what one can find on internet. Just use an I2c address scan provided with the weatherduino software package.
So just change the address in the INO RX.

Yes, that's exactly my choice - but I always had the same address ...
Have a nice day.

Usually I don't do any bridges at A0, A1 or A2. Without any bridges, the I2C address is 0x27 (at least for all the back pack modules I have seen), which is the default address defined on the software.

Werk,
As mentioned i have an issue with two 20 x 4 LCD displays.
The top one in the photo was purchased as an I2C compatible device and works well with the address of 0x3F (chip is PCF 8574AT).
The lower one is one of two purchased as serial models and I attached the I2C boards myself, both have the same 8574AT chip but neither will work regardless of address used.
The only difference appears to be that the non working boards do not have capacitors C1 and C2 fitted
Any ideas?
Jim

I have already looked for a breakdown like this, it was the brightness knob that was not turned correctly and I had a white screen.
I guess you've already eliminated that possibility.

you have to go and get C1 and C2 at the local electrics shop and solder them!

You can also try to load the I2C scanning program to see which addresses are actually responding on the I2C network on the particular Arduino the code is loaded
