Matrix - I2C LCD1602
From FriendlyELEC WiKi
Contents
1 Introduction
This is an LCD module which has an I2C controller. It can display 16 x 2 characters. Its interface is parallel. To simplify its application we designed a controller on this module, which interfaces with other modules through I2C and transfers received signals to parallel signals to LCD1602. It can display, turn on and off back light.
2 Features
- I2C interface. It can display characters, and turn on and off back light
- 2.54 mm spacing pin
- I2C PCB dimension:16 x 42 mm
- LCD1602 PCB dimension: 36 x 80 mm
3 How To
3.1 Connection
- Connect to Tiny4412 SDK (1506)
- GND: Ground
