I have no idea what version of LiquidCrystal_I2C.h you have. The library one only specifies the I2C address, number of rows and number of col on the constructor.

LiquidCrystal_I2C(uint8_t lcd_Addr,uint8_t lcd_cols,uint8_t lcd_rows);

So there is no matching constructor to match what you coded - hence the error message.

EDIT
There may be other variants that allow specification of I2C mapping but you don't have one.

when you pass all those pins it's not an I2C LCD.. seems there is some confusion (chatGPT code? :slight_smile: )

probably just one of the plain LiquidCrystal library needed

try with LiquidCrystal - Arduino Reference

can you clarify which LCD you have?

There are some libraries that let you specify the pin connections between an I2C expander (such as the PCF8574) and an LCD display. The pin numbers refer to the I/O pins of the I2C expander, not the pins of the Arduino board. Unfortunately I am not able to identify the correct library for that code, might help if we knew the source of the code, the virtuabotixRTC library is also a bit unusual.

OK
Never seen one like that

The root cause is explained in reply #2 by @oldcurmudgeon.

You will have to look at the examples of the LiquidCrystal_I2C library that you have installed to see how to use it and next adjust your code to match it.

You don't spend enough time on the forum :rofl:

probably :slight_smile:
(or never cared enough about LCD without the I2C expander already mounted and ready to roll)

The hd44880 library will automatically determine the I2C address and LCD to I2C pin mapping. Install the library using the IDE's library manager.

there is all error message

Can you share a link to your display and a picture?

now I have smth like these

image

a picture of your set up I meant.

did you solder the I2C module to your LCD1602?

Yes, i solder it.


When replying, please be aware of this topic

so I have to make a new topic?

NO !

In fact, your problems with LiquidCrystal_I2C would be better in a single topic

I have resisted the temptation to merge them so far as merging 2 fairly long topics can make the combined one very difficult to follow

Have you got the basic sketch from the LCD tutorial video working with the library that was used in the video ?

This one?
