A LCD via the I2C bus on STM32 boards stopped working in Arduino mode.

In the Discord channel was mentioned that the I2C bus does not work for the STM32 board in Arduino mode.

There is more than one problem:

1. The local files for the I2C LCD display with "Wire2" do no longer work.
2. There seems to be no longer a compatible I2C LCD library .

Large STM32 Nucleo64 C031C6 board: Example for old situation: https://wokwi.com/projects/365421666018061313 When I do a Serial.println(SDA) and Serial.println(SCL) then the default pins are: SDA = 14 and SCL = 15.

Small STM32 Nucleo32 L031K6: Example for old situation: https://wokwi.com/projects/367245102561225729 With Serial.println(SDA) and Serial.println(SCL), then the default pins are: SDA = 4 and SCL = 5.

Tests: A sketch with a I2C Scanner on the default SDA and SCL pins work. A display and a RTC module are detected. However, the "LiquidCrystal I2C" library does not work for the display, and even the "hd44780" library does not work. I can not find any STM32 project with a working I2C LCD display. I don't know if a OLED display works. The Adafruit GFX library with the Adafruit SSD1306 does not compile.

Test with a DS1307 to pins 4,5 (small board) or 14,15 (large board):

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() 
{
  Wire.begin();

  Wire.beginTransmission(0x68);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  delayMicroseconds(50);

  Wire.beginTransmission(0x68);
  Wire.write(0);
  Wire.endTransmission();
}

void loop() {}

Result for both boards:

The SCL is stuck to low when a databyte should be transmitted. That explains that only a I2C Scanner works.
