Basic 8x2 Character LCD - 5V

This is a basic 8 character by 2 line display.

The screen utilizes the extremely common HD44780 parallel interface chipset.
Interface code is freely available.
You will need ~11 general I/O pins to interface to this LCD screen. Includes LED backlight.

You can use the example sketch in the Arduino IDE to get up and running in no time.

Note: This will work with our serial backpack, but it will not connect directly due to the different pin layout.

Dimensions: 3,99 x 3,58cm
