I2C/UART Breakout to connect the MeTFT LCD display


#1

Hi Guys,
I plan to add a TFT LCD display to my starter kit. Since the bluetooth already uses the unique UART (port 5) of the MeOrion board, I would want to connect the LCD to an I2C port via a I2C/UART breakout module like the following: “https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/9981”.
The module is available on eBay.
I ordered the breakout module. In waiting I’m implmenting a kind of MeSC16IS75x library in order to communicate with the module…

Does someone has already use an I2C/UART breakout on starter kit?
Thank in advance for any clue :wink:

Finally, I used an arduino nano board as I2C/UART gateway to drive the LCD display, since the bluetooth use the UART port of the MeOrion board.
