Title: Displaying Messages on Two LCD Lines

Create a Python that utilizes two lines on the Adafruit LCD display.

The newline character is used to force the next character to a new line. The 16x2 LCD could display a total of 32 characters at a time: 16 characters on Line 1 and 16 characters on Line 2. Spaces are used to center text on a line. Refer to the program below.

Boot up the Raspberry Pi.

Open IDLE.

Enter the program below.

Name = 'Put Your Name Here'

Class = 'ECT109'

Assignment = 'Week 6 Lab 1'

#------------------------------------------------------

# Display messages on two lines

#------------------------------------------------------

import time

from time import sleep

from Adafruit_CharLCDPlate import Adafruit_CharLCDPlate

lcd = Adafruit_CharLCDPlate()

lcd.clear()

lcd.message(“ John Doe ECT109”)

sleep(3)

lcd.clear()

lcd.message(“done”)

Run the program. Observe the results.

Your assignment is to modify the above program to add another two-line message (such as “Week 6 & Lab 1”). Make sure to pause between messages.
