A little playground for a I2C RPi3 LCD 16x02 RBG Plate
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with I2C RGB LCD 16x2 Display shield sitting directly on the board. It uses a MCP23017 chipset. This is a playground to see what I can do with this module
In order to begin we should have dependencies installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-smbus python-pip
For a Raspberry Pi we install RPi.GPIO library by executing:
sudo pip install RPi.GPIO
We're going to use the Adafruit_CharLCD module to code for the LCD in Python:
sudo pip install Adafruit-GPIO Adafruit-CharLCD
