 Description
This is a serial LCD backpack board for 20x4 Character LCD modules.

Features
  • Microcontroller LCD controller
  • On board RS-232 driver allows direct connection to a PC with native or USB based RS-232 port
  • Microcontroller USART RX and TX signal for easy connection of LCD to an MCU based project
  • 9600 baud preconfigured (8-bit, no parity, 1 stop bit)
  • 3 LCD pin headers (top, side, bottom) to accomodate different LCD pin configurations
  • board controlled backlight
  • +15 commands to set LCD (clear, position cursor, etc)
  • 8 custom configurable characters


What is included
  • Serial LCD backpack module
Arduino compatible

This module works great with Arduino boards (Arduino duemilanove, diecimila, freeduino, seeeduino, MEGA).

Connect:

Arduino +5V to J3 pin 1 on serial LCD module Arduino GND to J3 pin 2 on serial LCD module Arduino TX (Digital pin 1) to J3 pin 5 on serial LCD module

Pins 3 and 4 on serial LCD modules are for native RS-232 signal connectivity. DO NOT USE IT FOR YOUR MICROCONTROLLER BASED BOARDS.
