lcd display library in stock
This module works with at least the LiquidCrystal I2C and LiquidCrystal_PCF8574 libraries available in the Arduino library manager. Address 0x3F worked for me since the A0, A1, and A2 jumpers are not shorted.
Recently purchased unit has a different address than the same part number purchased a year ago. It seems that if the small board is marked MH, the address is not going to be 0x27 or 0x20 but 0x3F. With that change of address, this display works and looks great.
Google for LCM1602 and you will find many pages that mention the board - including the pinouts stated above and sample programs using the Arduino library.
Heres the scoop. The library that works with this chip set is available at this link. http://www.play-zone.ch/en/fileuploader/download/download/?d=0&file=custom%2Fupload%2FFile-1345667375.zip
On the software side, you have to download and install a new LiquidCrystal_I2C library for Arduino, which has the capability to talk to the LCD display over the I2C bus. Heres a link to the library. Follow the example code for the DFRobot board, which turns out to have the same configuration as this LCD, and it should fire right up for you. The LCD has white characters on a backlit blue background, and looked great.
This LCD Display Shield gives you a nicely mounted 1602 LCD Display snaps right on top of your Arduino UNO. With onboard buttons for easy navigation including up, down, left, right, select and reset, using your Arduino away from a computer was never easier. Use this shield to display values read in by your Arduino, display options for user inputs, choose between different programs you can run on your Arduino, etc. With a Power LED onboard and a nice blue backlit display, you"ll be able to use your Arduino"s LCD Display Shield day or night!
This shield is compatible with the "LiquidCrystal" library that is bundled with the Arduino software. Just edit the "LiquidCrystal" library"s default mapping from the LCD pins to Arduino pins to the ones for this specific shield by copying what"s shown below. Here is an example of the proper way to instantiate the LiquidCrystal class for this shield:
ATOM Display is an all-in-one display driver kit, Use FPGA to simulate traditional SPI TFT-LCD Data output. This kit supports image at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It provides advanced signal with great precision colors. Integrated 2.4G Wi-Fi, with 8M Flash + 2M PSRAM memory combination, RGB TO HDMI convert chip. So small yet powerful, which can replace the traditional display driving solution.
This new Adafruit shield makes it easy to use a 16x2 Character LCD. We really like the range of LCDs we stock in the shop, such as our classic blue & white as well as the fancy RGB negative and RGB positive. Unfortunately, these LCDs do require quite a few digital pins, 6 to control the LCD and then perhaps another 3 to control the RGB backlight for a total of 9 pins. That"s half of the pins available on a classic Arduino!
With this in mind, we wanted to make it easier for people to get these LCD into their projects so we devised a shield that lets you control a 16x2 Character LCD, up to 3 backlight pins AND 5 keypad pins using only the two I2C pins on the Arduino! 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.
To download. click the DOWNLOADS button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder Adafruit_RGBLCDShield. Check that the Adafruit_RGBLCDShield folder contains Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.cpp and Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h
Place the Adafruit_RGBLCDShield library folder your /libraries/ folder. You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE.
MultiLCD is an Arduino library designed for displaying characters and bitmaps on different models of Arduino LCD display shields/modules with easy-to-use and unified API. It is developed with performance in the first priority. For supporting a wide range of devices and providing additional rendering APIs, the new implementation inherits a modified version of UTFT library. That means most APIs of UTFT are accessible via MultiLCD library.
The library embeds 2 types of font for ASCII characters (5x7, 8x16) and 4 types of fonts for digits (8x8, 8x16, 16x16, 16x24). It is extremely simple for display texts and numbers on desired position on a LCD screen with the library, while very little change in code is needed to switch from one LCD module to another. For more sophisticated drawing and rendering features, UTFT APIs can be used.
MultiLCD has dumped support for monochrome LCD and OLED display since a while ago since starting to inherit UTFT library APIs. The support has been moved to MicroLCD library which shares the same APIs except for the UTFT APIs. It is also more optimized for Arduino with smaller program memory (Arduino Micro, Arduino Nano, Arduino Mini etc.). MicroLCD supports following monochrome display shields/modules:
Now let"s arrange the screens in the menu. LiquidScreen welcome_screen(welcome_line1, welcome_line2) / Screen formation from the above lines. LiquidLine welcome_line2(2, 1, oneTwoThree) / Creating a string with an integer variable. LiquidLine welcome_line1(1, 0, "Hello Menu") / Create a string with one string literal. LiquidCrystal lcd(LCD_RS, LCD_E, LCD_D4, LCD_D5, LCD_D6, LCD_D7) example // First, we need to create a LiquidCrystal object. Number indicates which of the attached functions should be called. When a row is selected, one of the attached functions can be called with: void LiquidMenu :: call_function (byte number) To cycle through the lines shown on the screen, use the method: void LiquidMenu::switch_focus(bool forward = true) To call a function attached to a row, the row must have focus (the row has been selected). They are attached using a user-supplied number: bool LiquidLine::attach_function(byte number, void (*function)(void)) Each line has callback functions attached to it (up to 8 by default). Lines of text / numbers shown on the display can be interactive. Screens can be looped back and forth, or a specific screen can be specified by its object or number: void LiquidMenu::next_screen() īool LiquidMenu::change_screen(LiquidScreen &liquidScreen) Menu navigation is done from the LiquidMenu object or, if there are multiple menus, from the LiquidSystem object. I’ll explain what it does, show its specs and share an Arduino project example that you can take and apply to your own projects. This post aims to be a complete guide for Nokia 5110 LCD with Arduino. LiquidSystem(LiquidMenu &liquidMenu1., byte startingMenu = 1) Complete Guide for Nokia 5110 LCD with Arduino. Accepts 0 to 4 LiquidMenu objects and the number of the menu that will be shown first. LiquidMenu(LiquidCrystal &liquidCrystal, LiquidScreen &liquidScreen1., byte startingScreen = 1) Accepts a reference to a LiquidCrystal object, 0 to 4 LiquidScreen objects, and LiquidLine(byte column, byte row, A &variableA.) Includes RGB backlight control, display scrolling, cursor movement, and custom characters all over I2C, SPI, or Serial.

As a 2inch IPS display module with a resolution of 240 * 320, it uses an SPI interface for communication. The LCD has an internal controller with basic functions, which can be used to draw points, lines, circles, and rectangles, and display English, Chinese as well as pictures.
The 2inch LCD uses the PH2.0 8PIN interface, which can be connected to the Raspberry Pi according to the above table: (Please connect according to the pin definition table. The color of the wiring in the picture is for reference only, and the actual color shall prevail.)
The LCD supports 12-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit input color formats per pixel, namely RGB444, RGB565, and RGB666 three color formats, this demo uses RGB565 color format, which is also a commonly used RGB format.
For most LCD controllers, the communication mode of the controller can be configured, usually with an 8080 parallel interface, three-wire SPI, four-wire SPI, and other communication methods. This LCD uses a four-wire SPI communication interface, which can greatly save the GPIO port, and the communication speed will be faster.
Note: Different from the traditional SPI protocol, the data line from the slave to the master is hidden since the device only has display requirement.
Framebuffer uses a video output device to drive a video display device from a memory buffer containing complete frame data. Simply put, a memory area is used to store the display content, and the display content can be changed by changing the data in the memory.
If you need to draw pictures, or display Chinese and English characters, we provide some basic functions here about some graphics processing in the directory RaspberryPi\c\lib\GUI\GUI_Paint.c(.h).
Set points of the display position and color in the buffer: here is the core GUI function, processing points display position and color in the buffer.
The fill color of a certain window in the image buffer: the image buffer part of the window filled with a certain color, usually used to fresh the screen into blank, often used for time display, fresh the last second of the screen.
Write Ascii character: In the image buffer, use (Xstart Ystart) as the left vertex, write an Ascii character, you can select Ascii visual character library, font foreground color, font background color.
Write English string: In the image buffer, use (Xstart Ystart) as the left vertex, write a string of English characters, you can choose Ascii visual character library, font foreground color, font background color.
Write numbers: In the image buffer,use (Xstart Ystart) as the left vertex, write a string of numbers, you can choose Ascii visual character library, font foreground color, font background color.
Display time: in the image buffer,use (Xstart Ystart) as the left vertex, display time,you can choose Ascii visual character font, font foreground color, font background color.;
2. The module_init() function is automatically called in the INIT () initializer on the LCD, but the module_exit() function needs to be called by itself
Python has an image library PIL official library link, it do not need to write code from the logical layer like C, can directly call to the image library for image processing. The following will take 1.54inch LCD as an example, we provide a brief description for the demo.
Note: Each character library contains different characters; If some characters cannot be displayed, it is recommended that you can refer to the encoding set ro used.

Grove - 16 x 2 LCD is a perfect I2C LCD display for Arduino and Raspberry Pi with high contrast and easy deployment. 16x2 means two lines and each line has 16 columns, 32 characters in total. With the help of Grove I2C connector, only 2 signal pins and 2 power pins are needed. You don"t even need to care about how to connect these pins. Just plug it into the I2C interface on Seeeduino or Arduino/Raspberry Pi+baseshield via the Grove cable. There won"t be complicated wiring, soldering, worrying about burning the LCD caused by the wrong current limiting resistor.
The Grove - LCD RGB Backlight has been well received since its inception. Based on customer feedback, now, we bring more cost-effective monochrome backlight derivative for you.
Except for RGB backlights, these three products are almost identical to the the Grove - LCD RGB Backlight, they are all 16 characters wide, 2 rows with high brightness backlight.
An introduction of What is a Grove - 16 x 2 LCD and How does it work is strongly recommended reading ahead if you are not familiar with it. Please visit our
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module"s software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.
The first version of Grove - 16 x 2 LCD series does not have a built-in pull-up resistor, nor does it provide a pad to solder the optional pull-up resistor. We have redesigned the module, and the new version has built-in pull-up resistors.
The Grove - 16 x 2 LCD shares the same library with the Grove-LCD RGB Backlight. Their usage is almost the same, except that the Grove - 16 x 2 LCD does not support the RGB color API, such as setRGB().
2). Open it in your computer by click the HelloWorld.ino which you can find in the folder XXXX\Arduino\libraries\Grove_LCD_RGB_Backlight-master\examples\HelloWorld, XXXX is the location you installed the Arduino IDE.
Since the Grove - 16 x 2 LCD series are all monochrome backlight, you need to comment out the RGB color related code. In the demo code above, i.e., line 6 and line 17.
Step 2. Make sure that the ArduPy firmware contains the Grove - 16 x 2 LCD ArduPy library using the following commands. For more information, please follow here.
Step 4. Save the ArduPy-LCD1602.py in a location that you know. Run the following command and replace

If you’ve ever attempted to connect an LCD display to an Arduino, you’ve probably noticed that it uses a lot of Arduino pins. Even in 4-bit mode, the Arduino requires seven connections – half of the Arduino’s available digital I/O pins.
The solution is to use an I2C LCD display. It only uses two I/O pins that are not even part of the digital I/O pin set and can be shared with other I2C devices.
As the name suggests, these LCDs are ideal for displaying only characters. A 16×2 character LCD, for example, can display 32 ASCII characters across two rows.
At the heart of the adapter is an 8-bit I/O expander chip – PCF8574. This chip converts the I2C data from an Arduino into the parallel data required for an LCD display.
If you have multiple devices on the same I2C bus, you may need to set a different I2C address for the LCD adapter to avoid conflicting with another I2C device.
An important point to note here is that several companies, including Texas Instruments and NXP Semiconductors, manufacture the same PCF8574 chip. And the I2C address of your LCD depends on the chip manufacturer.
So the I2C address of your LCD is most likely 0x27 or 0x3F. If you’re not sure what your LCD’s I2C address is, there’s an easy way to figure it out. You’ll learn about that later in this tutorial.
After wiring the LCD, you will need to adjust the contrast of the LCD. On the I2C module, there is a potentiometer that can be rotated with a small screwdriver.
Now, turn on the Arduino. You will see the backlight light up. As you turn the potentiometer knob, the first row of rectangles will appear. If you have made it this far, Congratulations! Your LCD is functioning properly.
Before you can proceed, you must install the LiquidCrystal_I2C library. This library allows you to control I2C displays using functions that are very similar to the LiquidCrystal library.
To install the library, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries… Wait for the Library Manager to download the library index and update the list of installed libraries.
Filter your search by entering ‘liquidcrystal‘. Look for the LiquidCrystal I2C library by Frank de Brabander. Click on that entry and then choose Install.
As previously stated, the I2C address of your LCD depends on the manufacturer. If your LCD has a PCF8574 chip from Texas Instruments, its I2C address is 0x27; if it has a PCF8574 chip from NXP Semiconductors, its I2C address is 0x3F.
If you’re not sure what your LCD’s I2C address is, you can run a simple I2C scanner sketch that scans your I2C bus and returns the address of each I2C device it finds.
However, before you upload the sketch, you must make a minor change to make it work for you. You must pass the I2C address of your LCD as well as the display dimensions to the LiquidCrystal_I2C constructor. If you’re using a 16×2 character LCD, pass 16 and 2; if you’re using a 20×4 character LCD, pass 20 and 4.
The next step is to create an object of LiquidCrystal_I2C class. The LiquidCrystal_I2C constructor accepts three inputs: I2C address, number of columns, and number of rows of the display.
In the setup, three functions are called. The first function is init(). It initializes the interface to the LCD. The second function is clear(). This function clears the LCD screen and positions the cursor in the upper-left corner. The third function, backlight(), turns on the LCD backlight.
The function setCursor(2, 0) is then called to move the cursor to the third column of the first row. The cursor position specifies where you want the new text to appear on the LCD. It is assumed that the upper left corner is col=0 and row=0.
There are many useful functions you can use with LiquidCrystal_I2C Object. Some of them are listed below:lcd.home() function positions the cursor in the upper-left of the LCD without clearing the display.
lcd.scrollDisplayRight() function scrolls the contents of the display one space to the right. If you want the text to scroll continuously, you have to use this function inside a for loop.
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft() function scrolls the contents of the display one space to the left. Similar to the above function, use this inside a for loop for continuous scrolling.
lcd.display() function turns on the LCD display, after it’s been turned off with noDisplay(). This will restore the text (and cursor) that was on the display.
If you find the default font uninteresting, you can create your own custom characters (glyphs) and symbols. They come in handy when you need to display a character that isn’t in the standard ASCII character set.
The CGROM stores the font that appears on a character LCD. When you instruct a character LCD to display the letter ‘A’, it needs to know which pixels to turn on so that we see an ‘A’. This data is stored in the CGROM.
CGRAM is an additional memory for storing user-defined characters. This RAM is limited to 64 bytes. Therefore, for a 5×8 pixel LCD, only 8 user-defined characters can be stored in CGRAM, whereas for a 5×10 pixel LCD, only 4 can be stored.
There’s no limit to what you can create. The only limitation is that the LiquidCrystal_I2C library only supports eight custom characters. But don’t be sad, look at the bright side; at least we have eight characters.
After including the library and creating the LCD object, custom character arrays are defined. The array consists of 8 bytes, with each byte representing a row in a 5×8 matrix.
