Pig 5 - Golo Lcd

Once more, I’m back!

Thanks to Golo Community my little tech issue was quickly solved.

Below, you will find the Golo version of the previous posts.
It’s even downloadable here

To launch the golo samples, use the command:

golo golo --classpath /opt/pi4j/lib/*.jar --files <your golo file>

    # clear LCD
    lcd:clear()
    Thread.sleep(1000_L)

    # write line 1 to LCD
    lcd:write(LCD_ROW_1, "PiG is great!")

    # stop all GPIO activity/threads by shutting down the GPIO controller
    # (this method will forcefully shutdown all GPIO monitoring threads and scheduled tasks)
    gpioInstance: shutdown()
}

Among the several goals I have around those little experiments, I need to be able to show the IP address of my Raspi on the LCD.
This way, it will be easy to use it anywhere and reach it.

The code is available there, even if it looks ugly ;)
