Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png I2C Config
Fc9-type-21-icon.png LCD Address
 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png RGB Address
 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Alt RGB Address
 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel

Fc9-type-16-icon.png Baud Select
Baud rate option selector 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
