Cheap LCD 16x2 characters, with I2C LCD1062 interface

(No title here)

This ~2$ module is easy to use. It uses only 2 data pins, but refresh rate seems quite low. It takes quite a long to update screen. There are same displays modules without I2C interface board, but they use more pins from your board.

Hardware setup

For wemos mini d1
SLC -> D1
SDA -> D2
VCC -> 5V
GND -> GND

After you have connected module and have software ready,
you have to turn potentiometer until you can see characters.


Software setup

Needed libraries / software
There are 2 libraries, that have almost same name
https://github.com/fdebrabander/Arduino-LiquidCrystal-I2C-library
https://github.com/marcoschwartz/LiquidCrystal_I2C
I have used the first one.
