I2C Display on EmonBase

Hardware

Hey,

Just wondered if anyone has had any luck attaching a i2c display to the emonbase?

I would only need Voltage and Amps displayed.

Hi Edd,

There’s a thread on the old forum called EmonLCD not GLCD. Unfortunately, the diagrams that were attached to the original posts have been lost.

Here’s a link to a sketch that uses a 4-line LC Display

Hey Bill

Thanks for your reply.

It seems like the script you have linked is for arduino. I would like to put a LCD onto the raspberry pi (emonbase) so i have a live read out of Voltage and amps on 3 phases, along with the more detailed view from the emoncms if the user wants to use that.
