Description:
This is a 16x2 I2C LCD Display that provides a simple and cost-effective solution for adding a 16×2 White on Liquid Crystal Display to your project. The display is 16 characters by 2 lines display has a very clear and high-contrast white text upon a Yellow background/backlight.
This is the great Yellow backlight LCD. It is fantastic for Arduino-based projects. This 16x2 I2C LCD is very easy to interface with Arduino or Other Microcontrollers.
This display overcomes the drawback of a 16x2 I2C LCD Display in which you’ll waste about 8 Pins on your Arduino for the display to get working. Luckily in this product, an I2C adapter is directly soldered right onto the pins of the display. So all you need to connect are the I2C pins, which show a good library and little coding.
The I2C is a type of serial bus developed by Philips, which uses two bidirectional lines, called SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line). Both must be connected via pulled-up resistors. The usage voltages are standard as 5V and 3.3V.
If you already have the I2C adapter soldered onto the board like in this product, the wiring is quite easy. You should usually have only four pins to hook up. VCC and GND of course. The LCD works with 5 Volts. So we go for the 5V Pin.
The values shown on the display can be either simple text or numerical values read by the sensors, such as temperature or pressure, or even the number of cycles that the Arduino is performing.
Features:
- Backlight: Yellow
- Supply Voltage: 5V
- 16x2 I2C LCD come with an IIC interface, which can be connected by DuPont Line.
- 16x2 I2C LCD comes with Arduino 1602 I2C interface 4-wire 1602 screen
- LCD module white on Yellow with Backlight, Built-in industry standard HD44780 equivalent LCD controller.
- Commonly used in copiers, fax machines, laser printers, industrial test equipment, and networking equipment such as routers and storage devices.
- The IO port of the Arduino control board is only 20, so IO ports are not enough for many sensors, SD cards, and relay modules, the original 1602 screen needs 7 IO ports to drive up, and this module can save 5 IO ports.
