Introduction

The controlling of the MI0283QT-Adapter v1 and v2 is different and the respective examples and libraries have to be used.

For an I2C connection of a MI0283QT-Adapter v2 on a mSD-Shield the SDA and SCL jumper on the mSD-Shield bottom side have to be closed/shorted.

Arduino Library with Examples: Download
- MI0283QT-Adapter v1 use GraphicsLib and MI0283QT9
- MI0283QT-Adapter v2 or GLCD-Shield use GraphicsLib and DisplayI2C or DisplaySPI or DisplayUART
General Examples for MI0283QT-Adapter v2 or GLCD-Shield: Download
- Download the respective .ino file and the file cmd.h
- Copy everything to the same directory.
- Open the .ino file with the Arduino IDE.
- Open menu item Sketch -> Add file and choose cmd.h.

I2C Example for MI0283QT-Adapter v2 or GLCD-Shield.

Activate I2C:

$ sudo modprobe i2c_bcm2708 baudrate=100000
$ sudo modprobe i2c-dev

Install i2c-tools:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install i2c-tools

Test I2C bus:
```
$ sudo i2cdetect -y 1
```
The Raspberry Pi hardware revision 1 boards connect I2C bus 0 (GPIO 0 + 1) and revision 2 boards connect I2C bus 1 (GPIO 2 + 3) to the GPIO connector.
Start the test program on the display:
```
$ sudo i2cset -y 1 0x20 0x02
```
