#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>     // if you don´t have I2C version of the display, use LiquidCrystal.h library instead

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2);  // set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display
//LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x3f,16,2);    // set the LCD address to 0x3f for a 16 chars and 2 line display
// if you don´t know the I2C address of the display, use I2C scanner first (https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/I2cScanner/)
