I will be doing some testing of the plugin and will let you know if I find any other problem.
I am waiting for a level shifter that I have ordered.

Would the fact that it works great OUTSIDE of SIP make any change to your thoughts? I found instructions on setting it up and testing with Python code from YouTube. everything works great and the LCD displays everything the code expects it to.
