2 × 16 HD44780 LCD display / I2C LCD module
A handy LCD display (HD44780) for your projects! Set up I2C and you're ready to go!
The LCD shows 16 characters on 2 lines. The included I2C interface connects it to a microcontroller. The address is set by the backpack chip and hardware address pins; the library must use that address and does not change it by itself. microcontroller microcontroller microcontroller

Warranty and shipping
We do our best to test all electronics before sending them to you.
This helps us deliver good work and saves you unnecessary trouble during development. Faults can occur, but we see them very rarely. If there is a problem with the equipment you ordered, you can always contact us, and we will be happy to help resolve it.
We dispatch from Aarhus to Denmark and Sweden. Shipping options and prices are shown at checkout. Delivery time depends on availability, destination and shipping method; contact us before ordering if you need an item by a specific date.
I2C pull-ups on a 5V backpack can pull SDA/SCL to 5V. Check before using a 3.3V microcontroller and use a suitable I2C level shifter if needed.
