20 x 4 Line 2 scrolling text for LCD-I2C Display
#3
Hi Marsokod,
The text is in the code at the bottom, under the "While True". it does display on the LCD, but as "LCD_LINE_2" is longer than the 20 characters, I need that line to scroll, which it does not do currently. I have found scrolling strings, but I can only put one line of text in (e.g. "this is my long string"). In my case I need the text to change for each #Train as they have different "Calling at" stations.

This project is for a model railway, but i want it to mimic a real life train station display board, but I won't be using real train station names when I'm finished.

I hope this helps, any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
RoadieMunky
