I want to use a 20x4 LCD without I2C on the Nucleo-F030R8 board. But many libraries are programmed on the I2C protocol. Is there a 20x4 LCD library that doesn't use I2C?

    You'll need to be much more specific about make, model, manufacturer of said "20x4 LCD"

    Link to a data sheet.

    Show how it is interfaced?

    you have to be more specific. I did a lot of those long time ago and it was fun

    it has 8 lines of data lines

    H/L register select signal pin

    H/L read/write signal

    H/ L enable signal

    see data sheet for the display what you want to display,

    use I/O pins to write 0 or 1 then use control pins to send the data to the display very simple

    Hi,

    I have used MC42005 type displays. Just be aware of their logic voltage levels, and they have specific timing to some of the instructions.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards
