The I2C LCD Module is a display module that uses the I2C communication protocol
to interface with microcontrollers. making it ideal for displaying text and
data in embedded systems, IoT projects, and other applications where space and
wiring are limited.
Description:
The I2C LCD Module is
a versatile and easy-to-use display module designed to connect with
microcontrollers via the I2C communication protocol. It allows you
to control a 16x2 or 20x4 character LCD display using
just two data lines (SDA for data and SCL for clock). The I2C interface
minimizes the number of pins required, making it ideal for projects where space
is limited or where many components need to be controlled with minimal wiring.
The I2C LCD Module is
compatible with many popular microcontrollers, including Arduino and Raspberry
Pi. It comes equipped with a PCF8574 I2C chip, which converts
serial data into parallel data for the display, enabling communication over the
I2C bus.
