Sparkfun - serial enabled 16X2 lcd - black on green 5V
This is the latest evolution of our serial LCD. Included on a single board is a 16x2 LCD and an embedded circuit based around a PIC 16F88. The on-board PIC takes a TTL serial input and prints the characters it receives onto the LCD. The installed firmware also allows for a number of special commands so you can clear the screen, adjust the backlight brightness, turn the display on/off, and more.
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 (VDD), ground (GND) and RX pins are all broken out to both a 0.1" pitch header as well as a 3-pin JST connector.
SerLCD has the ability to dim the backlight to conserve power if needed. There is also a potentiometer on the back of the display to adjust the contrast.
This LCD makes for a great gift, because it can be used for so many different projects!
* Embedded PIC 16F88 utilizes onboard UART for greater communication accuracy
* Adjustable baud rates of 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200 and 38400
* Greater processing speed at 10MHz
* Incoming buffer stores up to 80 characters
* Backlight transistor can handle up to 1A
* Pulse width modulation of backlight allows direct control of backlight brightness and current consumption
* All surface mount design allows a backpack that is half the size of the original
* Boot-up display can be turned on/off via firmware
* User definable splash screen
