20x4 serial lcd module for sale
This is a 20x4 Arduino compatible LCD display module with high speed I2C interface. It is able to display 20x4 characters on two lines, whitecharacterson blue background.
Generally, LCD display will run out of Arduino pin resource. It needs 6 digital pins and 2 power pin for a LCD display. If you want to build a robot project, it will be a problem with Arduino UNO and LCD display.
This I2C 20x4 LCD display module is designed for Arduino microcontroller. It is using I2C communication interface, With this I2C interface, only 2 lines (I2C) are required to display the information on any Arduino based projects. It will save at least 4 digital / analog pins on Arduino. All connector are standard XH2.54 (Breadboard type). You can connect it with jumper wire directly.
This 1602 LCD module has 8 I2C address in all, from 0x20 to 0x27. You can set one according to your requirements, avoiding the confliction of I2C address. And its contrast can be adjusted manually.
This IIC/I2C/TWI Serial 2004/20x4 LCD Module Shield for Arduino Uno/Mega2560 displays white contents on an elegant blue. It can display 4 rows with 20 characters for each. With IIC/I2C interface, it only takes two I/O ports thus saving more for other usages.
Features:IIC/I2C interface was developed to reduce the IO port usage on Arduino board.* Old 1602 screen requires 7 IO ports but this module uses only two.* Much needed control panel IO ports can be used to add some sensors, SD card and so on.* A New High-Quality 4 Line 20 Character Lcd Module.* Potentiometer can be adjusted to control the contrast.* Back light can be turned off by removing the jumper on the back panel.Specification:* Interface: I2C* I2C Address: 0x27* Pin Definition : GND、VCC、SDA、SCL* Back lit (Yellow with Black char color)* Supply voltage: 5V* Size : 60mm×99mm* Contrast Adjust : Potentiometer* Backlight Adjust : Jumper
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, LCD2004 with an I2C bus is developed to solve the problem.
I2C bus is a type of serial bus invented by PHLIPS. It is a high performance serial bus which has bus ruling and high or low speed device synchronization function required by multiple host system. I2C bus has only two bidirectional signal lines, Serial Data Line (SDA) and Serial Clock Line (SCL). The blue potentiometer on the I2C LCD2004 is used to adjust backlight to make it easier to display on the I2C LCD2004.
I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), pronounced I-squared-C, is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors). It is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers. Alternatively I²C is spelled I2C (pronounced I-two-C) or IIC (pronounced I-I-C).
I²C uses only two bidirectional open-drain lines, Serial Data Line (SDA) and Serial Clock Line (SCL), pulled up with resistors. Typical voltages used are +5 V or +3.3 V although systems I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), pronounced I-squared-C, is a multi-master, multi-slave, single-ended, serial computer bus invented by Philips Semiconductor (now NXP Semiconductors).

The 20x4 character LCD module is designed to display letters, numbers, symbols, dot matrix. It can display 4 lines of 20 characters. Support 4-bit and 8-bit data transfer mode. Offers 5x7 matrix + cursor display mode. Providing display data buffer DDRAM, character generator CGROM and CGRAM. CGRAM can be used to store up to eight 5x8 dot matrix character font data graphic own definition. Provides a rich instruction set: clear display, cursor back to origin, display on / off, cursor on / off, display character blink, cursor shift, display shift and so on. It"s easily controlled by MCU such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARDUINO, ARM and Raspberry Pi. It can be used in any embedded systems, industrial device, security, medical and hand-held equipment.
