Most Excellent ! Many thanks @dhylands, @mcauser, and @ernitron. :D I've wanted to get these displays working with esp/uP for some time now. I put a level shifter in the mix as it's likely the i2c lines are pulled to 5V on the LCD backpack which might put the ESP at risk. Not sure that is really nee...

I downloaded and installed the binary version you are using and tried it. For some reason I can't reproduce the issue that you see. It looks OK on my Feather Huzzah both from the REPL and WebREPL WebREPL daemon started on ws://192.168.4.1:8266 WebREPL daemon started on ws://0.0.0.0:8266 Started webr...

esp8266-20160909-v1.8.4.bin

The MQTT protocol is supported in a built-in library in the Micropython binaries -- this protocol can be used send data from your ESP8266, over WIFI, to a free cloud database. For example, your ESP board could read an I2C...
