Hi,
I am using a Arduino mega attached to a 20x4 i2c lcd and xbee. Another Xbee is attached to a 7’’ inch screen. Different images are displayed on the screen of the 7’’ lcd and the name of the image is sent to xbee when it is touched.
The data is being transferred correctly between the Xbee modules as checked on a serial. However, when i try to display it on the 20x4 i2c lcd, it does not properly show.
e.g if xbee is showing “drinks”, the lcd shows “█ks” or sometimes “█in”.
The code im using for the 20x4 lcd is
/*****************************************************************
XBee_Serial_Passthrough.ino
Set up a software serial port to pass data between an XBee Shield
and the serial monitor.
Hardware Hookup:
The XBee Shield makes all of the connections you'll need
between Arduino and XBee. If you have the shield make
sure the SWITCH IS IN THE "DLINE" POSITION. That will connect
the XBee's DOUT and DIN pins to Arduino pins 2 and 3.
*****************************************************************/
// We'll use SoftwareSerial to communicate with the XBee:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LCD03.h>
LCD03 lcd;
// XBee's DOUT (TX) is connected to pin 2 (Arduino's Software RX)
// XBee's DIN (RX) is connected to pin 3 (Arduino's Software TX)
SoftwareSerial XBee(10, 11); // RX, TX
void setup()
{
// Set up both ports at 9600 baud. This value is most important
// for the XBee. Make sure the baud rate matches the config
// setting of your XBee.
XBee.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600);
// Initialise a 20x4 LCD
lcd.begin(20, 4);
// Turn on the backlight
lcd.backlight();
// Write to the LCD
lcd.print("Hello world");
// Wait for 5 seconds
delay(5000);
// Clear the LCD
lcd.clear();
}
void loop()
{
if (Serial.available())
{ // If data comes in from serial monitor, send it out to XBee
XBee.write(Serial.read());
}
if (XBee.available())
{ // If data comes in from XBee, send it out to serial monitor
Serial.write(XBee.read());
lcd.write(XBee.read());
}
}
