Using USB 8451 for I2C communication for LCD Displays

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello everyone,

 

I am in need of a method for writing to 12 LCD screens. I am using LabVIEW to control the LCDs and I have decided that I2C will be the best communication protocol. I have never programmed anything for I2C or even programmed a display such as an LCD. For my hardware I was going to use NI-8451 (which I have never used also). LCD I plan on using can be found here https://www.newhavendisplay.com/nhd0216k3zfsrgbfbwv3-p-5736.html?number_of_uploads=0. This LCD has a built on controller which can be found here https://www.newhavendisplay.com/app_notes/PIC16F690.pdf. The only thing that will be written to the LCDs are strings and I will never have to read from the LCD. Just want thoughts on if this is the best method for communicating to these 12 LCDs.

 

Thank you in advance for the answers and the time, I can really use the help
