Setting the mode is only required once.
Why not try simple text without parsing?
Parsing is unlikely to work in any event because you are not sending
a string. It will, at best, apply to the first character.
I don't see a .string property for the oI2C object in the V6
documentaton. It DID exist in V5.
So, we could write things like:
screen.string = "Hello World!"
Unfortunately, V6 won't accept it!
