LCD Display Trouble. 16x2 LCM1602 i2c. PCF8574A. HD44780
Using this stuff with NUCLEO-F070RB Wim Huiskamp library. As suggested I've put pull-ups res between VCC and SCL and SCA. Contrast regulated via trim. Address scanned with Domen Ornik. backlight led is always on except when running
<<lcd.printf("sth");>>
Were diplay simply switch off for a moment the light again. Hardware module selected Default 1. eith LCM1602 selected simply stays alaways on without displaing anything.

Hi Simone, first make sure you update the TextLCD lib to the latest version (right click on the lib in your project), also make sure you select LCM1602 (and ONLY that module) in the config file:
//Select Serial Port Expander Hardware module (one option only) #define DEFAULT 0 #define ADAFRUIT 0 #define DFROBOT 0 #define LCM1602 1 #define YWROBOT 0 #define GYLCD 0 #define MJKDZ 0 #define SYDZ 0 #define WIDEHK 0 #define LCDPLUG 0
The standard LCM1602 has a PCF8574 at address 0x4E. In case you have a module with PCF8574A it will be 0x7E.
//I2C Portexpander PCF8574 TextLCD_I2C lcd(&i2c_lcd, 0x4E, TextLCD::LCD16x2, TextLCD::HD44780); // I2C bus, PCF8574 addr, LCD Type, Ctrl Type
Make sure the powersupply for the LCD is 5V. Some LCDs dont work properly at 3V3. The I2C lines and pullup resistors may use at 3V3 levels.
Goodevening Wim, and thank you for your fast response.
Everything done, PCF8574A on 0x7E, supply at 5V, but display simply stays lighted...maybe I've broken it by selecting:
#define DEFAULT 1
?
This is the DATA, if someone has bought the same stuff, and encountered some trouble:
