The standard 16 x 2 character LCD - two lines of sixteen 5 x 8 dot characters on an HD44780-compatible controller. The 16-pin header brings out VSS, VDD, V0 (contrast), RS, RW, E, D0-D7 and the A/K backlight pins; most sketches run it in 4-bit mode, which costs six Arduino pins plus a trimmer on V0. It is a 5V part, and the backlight needs a series resistor - never wire 5V straight to A. Blue or yellow-green backlight.
Key features
- 16 characters x 2 lines, 5 x 8 dot font
- HD44780-compatible - endless code examples
- 16-pin parallel header, 4-bit or 8-bit mode
- 5V supply and 5V logic
- Needs a 20-50k trimmer on V0 for contrast
- Backlight needs a series resistor on pin A
