DFR0063 Gadgeteer Character LCD 16x2
Overview
The DFR0063 is a 16-character by 2-line liquid crystal display module designed for the Gadgeteer electronics platform. It features a standardized connector for rapid prototyping and utilizes an I2C/TWI interface to minimize the number of microcontroller pins required for data transmission.
Why Choose This Part
The module operates on a single 5V supply and simplifies wiring through its I2C interface, which reduces the complex 4-bit or 8-bit parallel connection typical of standard 1602 LCDs. Its compatibility with the Gadgeteer socket system ensures plug-and-play operation with supported development environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the module to an I2C-capable socket on a Gadgeteer mainboard or use the TWI pins with an Arduino-compatible controller. In the .NET Micro Framework, use the Gadgeteer LCD16 module driver to initialize the display and write strings to the screen.
