@Scott, did you try to measure which voltage your original transformator delivers? Maybe you could use that instead of the wallwart? Just an idea.

Thanks,

You just have to make sure, you don’t use the same pins;-) I’m using a separate Python program to handle the little relay for our light.

@Scott there are other LCD modules out there. Adafruit sells one 16×2 with five buttons or the one I used (20×4 without buttons from SainSmart) and many others. Just make sure you find one with an I2C connection. Otherwise things get more complicated.

@wdem, I did not;-) I connected the LCD module to the I2C connector of the OSPi board;-) But you could probably modify the cables between the RPi & OSPi to handle both.

root@ospi:~# i2cdetect -y 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f

The 0x27 is the I2C address of the LCD display.

You could probably solder the OSPI cables directly on a GPIO connector for your `other’ module.
