adafruit lcd display raspberry pi for sale

There’s just so much fun to be had by adding a display to your projects, and now with so many different sizes, shapes and display technologies – it’s more exciting than ever before.

We stock a huge variety of displays for every project and microcontroller, including LCDs, TFTs, OLEDs, Paper displays and more. We also stock adapters and accessories for your traditional HDMI displays.

Want some retro appeal to your project? Check out our Nokia 5110 LCD display, or our range of classic 16x2 and 20x4 LCDs which come in a variety of colours.

This new Adafruit Pi Plate makes it easy to use an RGB 16×2 Character LCD. We really like the RGB Character LCDs we stock in the shop. (For RGB we have

With this in mind, we wanted to make it easier for people to get these LCD into their projects so we devised a Pi plate that lets you control a 16×2 Character LCD, up to 3 backlight pins AND 5 keypad pins using only the two I2C pins on the R-Pi! The best part is you don’t really lose those two pins either, since you can stick i2c-based sensors, RTCs, etc and have them share the I2C bus. This is a super slick way to add a display without all the wiring hassle.

This pi plate is perfect for when you want to build a stand-alone project with its own user interface. The 4 directional buttons plus select button allows basic control without having to attach a bulky computer.

The plate is designed for both Revision 1 and Revision 2 Raspberry Pi’s. It uses the I2C (SDA/SCL) pins. We have a special xtra-tall 26-pin header so the plate sits above the USB and Ethernet jacks. For Pi Model B+, the resistors sit right above the new set of USB ports. To keep them from shorting against the metal, a piece of electrical tape must be placed onto the USB ports.

This product comes as a kit! Included is a high quality PCB and all the components (buttons, header etc). A 16×2 Character RGB positive LCD is included! Assembly is easy, even if you’ve never soldered before and the kit can be completed in 30 minutes.

At this time, the code and plate can control the RGB backlight of our character LCDs by turning each LED on or off. This means you can display the following colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, White and all off. There is no support for PWM control of the backlight at this time, so if you need to have more granular control of the RGB backlight to display a larger range of colors, this plate can’t do that (the I2C expander does not have PWM output).
