DESCRIPTION

Standard HD44780 LCDs are useful for creating standalone projects.
16 characters wide, 2 rows
White text on blue background
Connection port is 0.1" pitch, single row for easy breadboarding and wiring
Pins are documented on the back of the LCD to assist in wiring it up
Single LED backlight included can be dimmed easily with a resistor or PWM and uses

much less power than LCD with EL (electroluminescent) backlights
Can be fully controlled with only 6 digital lines! (Any analog/digital pins can be used)
Built in character set supports English/Japanese text, see the HD44780 datasheet

for the full character set Up to 8 extra characters can be created for custom

glyphs or 'foreign' language support Comes with necessary contrast potentiometer

and strip of header For more information, check out our

detailed step-by-step Arduino+LCD tutorial We have a datasheet that has dimensions

and pin-locations and then a HD44780 datasheet with the detailed commands for control
