The LCD 16×2 I2C device also shared 0x27

I had to find the soldering iron and solder shut A0, A1, or A2.

A0 = 1
A1 = 2
A2 = 4

I did A2.  The address changed from 0x27 to 0x23. 

Scanning…
I2C device found at address 0x01 !
I2C device found at address 0x02 !
I2C device found at address 0x03 !
I2C device found at address 0x04 !
I2C device found at address 0x23 !
I2C device found at address 0x27 !

Each I2C LCD screen has three pads: A0, A1, and A2.  Below is the table that shows how to solder the pads to change the address.   Below the table is a picture of the I2C LCD screen pads on the right side.   Soldering them can be tricky to do.
