Hi mate, How did you wire up the LCD and I2C interface, any chance of a wiring diagram? |

I can't do a proper wiring diagram right now, but here is the the layout of the reprap controller. The 16 pins of the LCD go to the i2 device (not all are required) the code should let you know the others. |

This commit adds basic support for the RRD Smart controller utilizing the LCD to display current status and the rotary encoder to control the trigger value for the filler tubes. It is also an alternative to using a pot to adjust the trigger value
The RRD Smart Controller is a cheap LCD module that includes a 2004 LCD, rotary encoder, momentary button, piezo buzzer & SD card holder. See: https://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapDiscount_Smart_Controller
These modules are cheap and readily available via the usual sources (ebay, aliexpress, amazon, etc) .

Due to the limited pins on the Uno, I also used an I2C interface adapter for the LCD.

I don't expect this PR to be pulled as is, but as it stands I have moved the default output pins to allow the rotary encoder to utilise the interupt pins of the UNO. There are 2 added dependencies in the LiquidCrystal_I2C library and the Encoder library.
