Display LCD 4x20 I2C new

DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION OF THE I2C DISPLAY.
A display, represents an essential element for a lot of achievement. It is often greedy in port I/O and
demand a place in memory, which strike the capital often limited some microcontrollers.
The I2C 4 x 20 characters display module which features will be described here allows several uses.
_A obvious place in a timeline use permanent.
_ A one-time use to check the operation of installation in development (debug, or other). The
imperative being to have a suitable I2C connector.
_A module device to create a montage of prototype on table with a view to its integration in the final
installation.
This display has already been proposed in December 2015, but this new version has been modified,
improved and completed.
Four push buttons move the cursor in two dimensions regardless of the software controls.

EXAMPLE OF MANIPULATION FOR THE ARDUINO IDE:
The following function positions the cursor.
byte LCD = 0x28;
void lcd_mov_cursor (byte column, byte line)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD);
Wire.write(0x12);
Wire.write(column);
Wire.write(line);
Wire.write(0x00);
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
}
The following function returns the column and row numbers in columncur and linecur.
void where_is_cursor (void)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD);
Wire.write(0x07);
Wire.write(0x00);
Wire.endTransmission(false);
Wire.requestFrom(LCD, 3); // request 3 bytes from slave device
dummy = Wire.read();
columncur = Wire.read();
linecur = Wire.read();
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
delay(1);
The following code writes a character string at the cursor.
{
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD); // transmit to device LCD
Wire.write(0x02); // opcode string display
Wire.write("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP");
Wire.write(0x00);
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
delay(1);
}
On/Off backlight.
void backlight (void)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD);
Wire.write(0x0f);
Wire.write(0x00);
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
}
