“This is a good 16x2 Lcd
I like the white on blue nice and clear
16x2 character blocks of 8x5 pixels
I have used one of these before (cost me 4 time as much as this one)
very easy to use from the Arduino examples (see below)
This can also be used with
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-i2c-spi-character-lcd-backpack
which has 3 jumper addressing pads for running up to 8 LCd's
=================================================
This screen is based on the Hitachi HD44780 chipset
so you can use the examples at
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal
and
http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/07/16x2-lcd-module-control-using-python/
to connect up your screen.”
“Make sure you know what connecting the LCD to a RPi or Arduino requires as the description of the product is quite vague -
• 16 x 2 LCD screen
• Breadboard
• Breadboard Jumper Wires
Also if you are using a Raspberry Pi you may want to watch this setup explaination before you buy the LCD.
