Have you followed this guide: https://github.com/dhrone/pydPiper/issues/29#issuecomment-392152609
This works great for me.
If you have installed it in some other way or simply wants to reinstall yours, you can remove the old install by doing this:

Hi,
Raspberry Pi 3b+ with Volumio V2 (latest) and an i2c 16x2 character display.
I have followed the instructions (as far as I can tell, to the letter) to install your excellent software to drive an i2c 16x2 LCD. Everything seemed to install correctly, I haven't seen any kind of error messages. Anyhow, the screen lights up and displays "pydPiper Starting" in standard text size/font and then just displays 'STOP' in a large font (taking up most of the screen) and nothing else at all, regardless of what I do in the Volumio web interface. I can start a song, select songs, browse songs, change the volume etc but nothing else is displayed whatsoever in the lcd - it just constantly says 'STOP' (there are two truncated exclamation marks in front of the STOP text, I can't determine if this is part of another character, or symbol of some kind). When I restart the RPi, or shut it down, the screen does then change to a standard size/font and says 'Exiting'. Restarting the Rpi doesn't change any of the above, I've tried several times. I have also double checked the pydpiper.service file and as far as your instructions go I've edited this correctly.
What am I missing? Have I not done something? Is there an error I may have missed? What is supposed to be displayed exactly? Can someone please help as I'd really like to get this working properly. Please note I am by no means an expert in electronics, Raspberry Pi's, programming or Linux. I can follow a good guide but I do not have an in depth knowledge of these things so if you can help me I would appreciate it if you could explain what I need to do assuming I might not understand anything overly technical. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Ste
