LCD Backpack (seriell-parallel Wandler)

Produktbeschreibung

Mit diesem Board lässt sich ein 2/4 Zeilen 16/20 Zeichen HD44780 kompatibles LCD einfach mit einem seriellen Interface ausstatten.
Der Adapter unterstützt die Standard HD44780 Befehle.


The serial enabled LCD backpack allows you to control a parallel based LCD over a single-wire serial interface. The SerLCD backpack takes care of all the HD44780 commands allowing seamless integration with any micro that can communicate over a wide range of TTL serial baud rates. The SerLCD currently supports 16 and 20 character wide screens with 2 or 4 lines of display.

Communication with SerLCD requires 5V TTL serial at a default baud rate of 9600bps (8-N-1). You can adjust the baud to any standard rate between 2400 and 38400bps. The power, ground and RX pins are all broken out to a 3.5mm pitch screw terminal.

SerLCD has the ability to dim the backlight to conserve power if needed. There is also a potentiometer on the backpack to adjust the contrast.
