Description
This is a 16×2 LCD and Keypad shield for Arduino Uno, Diecimila, Duemilanove, Freeduino boards, and other Uno sized compatible boards such as the Sparkfun Redboard.
- Blue Backlight with white words
- uses 4 Bit Arduino LCD Library
- Left, Right, Up, Down and Select buttons
- Screen contrast adjustment
- Arduino Reset button
The board uses different pins to the Arduino example sketches, so to make the display work, use the following sequence of pins when starting the library:
LiquidCrystal lcd(8,9,4,5,6,7);
The buttons are connected to only one analog input pin through resistors to give a different voltage for each button, thus saving on input/output pins. Reading the buttons is easy and example code is shown below
Pin Connections
| Pin | Function |
| Analog 0 | Buttons (select, up, right, down and left) |
| Digital 4 | DB4 |
| Digital 5 | DB5 |
| Digital 6 | DB6 |
| Digital 7 | DB7 |
| Digital 8 | RS (Data or Signal Display Selection) |
| Digital 9 | Enable |
