WiringPi-Pythonを使ってI2C キャラクタLCDのAQM0802Aを使ってみる。

I2Cの準備

##I2C deviceの有効化

I2Cデバイスが有効になっていることを確認する。

$ cat /etc/modules
...
i2c-dev
...
$ lsmod
...
i2c_dev                 6047  0 
i2c_bcm2708             5014  0 
...

i2c-tools

I2C toolsをインストールして、slave addressを確認する。AQM0802Aのslave addressは0x3e。

$ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
$ i2cdetect -y 1
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- UU -- -- -- -- 
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 3e -- 
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

LCD制御モジュール

Wiring Piを使ってLCD表示を制御するモジュールを作成する。
本当はInstructionの間には実行時間を考慮したwaitが必要だが、clear/home以外はμs単位なのでとりあえず無視。
