rpi-lcd

=======

This library supports LCD text displays (20x4, 16x2 and other) via I²C converter.

It requires the ``python-smbus`` package installed on your Raspberry Pi and enabled ``ARM I2C`` interface.

Installation

------------

Get the package from ``pypi``::

    pip install rpi-lcd

Usage

-----

.. code-block:: python

    from rpi_lcd import LCD

    from time import sleep

    lcd = LCD()

    

    lcd.text('Hello World!', 1)

    lcd.text('Raspberry Pi', 2)

    lcd.text('is really', 3, 'center')

    lcd.text('awesome', 4, 'right')

    sleep(5)

    lcd.clear()

    

``rpi-lcd`` handles multiline texts::

    from rpi_lcd import LCD

    

    lcd = LCD()

    lcd.text('This is a message that has more than 20 chars and does not fit in one line', 1)
