Lightweight HAL-based library for HD44780 LCD with I2C PCF8574 backpack

📋 Overview A portable, efficient library for interfacing HD44780-compatible LCD displays (16x2, 20x4, etc.) via I2C backpack (PCF8574) with STM32 microcontrollers. Built on STM32 HAL for maximum compatibility across STM32 series (L4, F4, F1, etc.).

✨ Features Feature Description 🚀 4-Bit Mode Efficient I2C communication using 4-bit mode, minimizing pin usage 🖥️ Multi-Display Support Compatible with 16x2, 20x4, and other HD44780 LCD modules 🔧 Simple API Intuitive functions for text display, cursor control, and display management 🔄 HAL Abstraction Clean abstraction layer using STM32 HAL I2C 📱 Cross-Platform Easily portable across STM32 series (L4, F4, F1, etc.) ⚡ Lightweight Minimal resource consumption, perfect for constrained environments 🚀 Quick Start Prerequisites STM32CubeIDE / STM32CubeMX

Configured I2C peripheral (e.g., I2C1, I2C2)

I2C LCD backpack (PCF8574 typically at 0x27 or 0x3F)

Installation Steps Add Library Files to your STM32 project:

c // Copy these files to your project source folder: lcd_i2c_hal.c lcd_i2c_hal.h Include Header in your main application:

c #include "lcd_i2c_hal.h" Configure I2C using CubeMX:

Enable I2C peripheral

Configure appropriate pins

Set clock speed (typically 100kHz)

Initialize and Use:

c // External I2C handle (defined by CubeMX) extern I2C_HandleTypeDef hi2c1;

// LCD handle LCD_HandleTypeDef lcd;

// Initialize LCD (address 0x27, 16 columns, 2 rows) LCD_I2C_Init(&lcd, &hi2c1, 0x27, 16, 2);

// Display text LCD_I2C_Print(&lcd, "Hello, STM32!"); LCD_I2C_SetCursor(&lcd, 0, 1); LCD_I2C_Print(&lcd, "I2C LCD Demo");
