node-red-contrib-lcd20x4-i2c

This node will accept an object msg.msgs. If the object passed does not contain 4 lines, the difference is filled with blank lines.

Line data structure:

• msg must be a string.
  • If msg is more than 20 characters the node will handle scrolling.
• pos (position) is optional and must be a number with any value between 1-20. This value is used for offsetting text, but you can also insert spaces in to msg instead of supplying pos.
  • If pos is not supplied it will default to 1.
• center is optional and must be a boolean value passed as a string
  • If pos and center are both set, center will override pos.

If there is an error it will be logged to Node-RED and display an error on the LCD screen.

Object format:

    "msgs": [
        {
            "msg": "string",
            "pos": number,
