## Description

Introduction： As we all know, though LCD and some other displays greatly enrich the man-machine interaction, they share a common weakness. When they are connected to a controller, multiple IOs will be occupied of the controller which has no so many outer ports. Also it restricts other functions of the controller. Therefore, LCD1602 with an I2C port is developed to solve the problem. It is also simple to handle. It has only two bidirectional data lines, a serial data line and a serial clock one. How to wire: GND—GND; VCC—VCC; SDA—A4; SCL—A5 Features:Voltage: 5V DC LCD display type: Characters Module dimension: 80mm x 35mm x 11mm Data： 1602 standard 16-pin interface, including: Pin 1: VSS is the ground power. 2 feet: VDD then 5V positive power supply. 3 feet: V0 LCD contrast adjustment end, then the positive power supply when the contrast is the weakest, the highest contrast when grounded power, the contrast is too high will have a "ghosting", when used by a 10K potentiometer to adjust the contrast. 4 feet: RS for the register selection, high-level data register selection, low-level instruction register selection.5 feet: R / W for the read and write signal lines, high-level read operation, low-level write operation. 6th foot: E end is enable end, when E end jumps from high level to low level, the liquid crystal module carries out the order. 7 ~ 14 feet: D0 ~ D7 for the 8-bit bidirectional data lines.15 feet: the positive power supply backlight16th foot: backlight power negativePacking included: 2pcs 1602 16x2 LCD Display ModuleIf you need documents or instructions, please kindly contact us.

Review: Works great in QMX+ - Bought this to use when building a new QMX+ transceiver from QRPLabs. It works great. I have another QMX+ with the yellow background. But I’ve not yet tackled replacing that screen. But, the blue screen with white letters works great in the new build.
Review: Good quality, bright - This LCD display works really great when paired with the Arduino Uno. In my opinion, the only thing that would make it even better is if the header pins were already soldered to the board. I suppose the manufacturer doesn’t do this, so that they could be used in a different application.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a datasheet for this product?**
A: No. The HiLetgo website has the same product information as the text here at Amazon. This isn't good because some features of these displays do vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. This is very irritating because we need to know things like whether a resistor is included on the LED power line or not and how much power it draws. Yes, you could use some other manufacturer's information but then you are forced to assume that this one is the same. Thumbs down to HiLetgo for this.

**Q: is there a wiring instruction for these?**
A: There is no documentation included with the package but these are standard Arduino LCDs and a search on "Arduino LCD wiring" will turn up diagrams and tutorials like this one: https://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/lcd-tutorial/

**Q: Will these work on an Adafruit Feather M0?**
A: They should they are generic hd44780. I tested on an uno.

**Q: is there an example code for this? Tried the arduino library hello world and this doesnt print with that**
A: Have you double checked your wiring, and perhaps tried another unit? Here's a site with a very clear pinout: https://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/lcd-tutorial/
