Serial LCD Display, 2x16 characters, amber LED backlightLCD2S-162YHA
The LCD2S-162YHA is a Serial LCD Character Display Module with a
high-speed SPI/I2C serial bus. The LCD is a 2x16-character STN
yellow/green display with an amber LED backlight, and is RoHS compliant.
For convenience, the I2C and SPI signals are available via a 6-pin
Micro-MaTch type connector, and a standard 2.54mm, 2x5-row pin header.
The following PIC microcontroller boards also feature a Micro-MaTch
connector and thus could be connected to this board (if you also
purchase or build a cable): - Any of the Netcruzer SBC66 line of PIC24FJ128 Single-Board Computers
- Microchip PIC Ethernet Board w/ RS232 & Web-Based Configuration (SBC65EC)
- Microchip PIC Ethernet Board w/ RS232 & Web-Based Config., CAN (SBC68EC)
- Microchip PIC Board, RS232 interface, 28-pin PICs (SBC28DC)
- Microchip PIC Board, RS232 & CAN interface, 28-pin PICs (SBC28PC-IR2)
- Microchip PIC Board, RS485 & CAN interface, 28-pin PICs (SBC28PC-IR4)
- Microchip PIC Board, RS232, RS485, CAN, RTC, 44-pin PICs (SBC44B)
- Microchip PIC18F4550 USB Board (SBC44UC)
- Microchip PIC16F876A Board with Bootloader, RS232 (BLC876A)
- PIC16F877A Board w/ Bootloader, RS232, RS485, CAN, RTC (BLC877A)
- PIC18F87J11 Board, iMOD ports for Ethernet, RS232 & RS485 Module (SBC83I)
Matching male Micro-MaTch connectors
are available to facilitate building a cable between these boards'
female Micro-MaTch connectors for SPI and I2C interfaces. You can also
purchase pre-made cables in 15 cm and 30 cm lengths. A
2-way DIP switch is used to configure the unit for SPI or I2C operation
(3 different addresses). The SPI mode is very simple, and enables you
to control the display via a simple software routine. For more complex
configurations, and multiple displays, the I2C bus can be used. The
contrast and backlight are software controlled, and can be set to 254
levels each. A keypad with up to 16 buttons (4 rows by 4 columns, such
as HC-KP)
can be added to the display via a standard 10-pin, 2.54mm header.
When using the I2C serial bus, an interrupt line will be activated when
a key is pressed, informing the host that there are key data to be
read. Alternatively, the LCD2S-162YHA can be polled to see if it has
any pending keypad data. The board has 5 user-configurable,
general-purpose inputs/outputs. Two of them can deliver up to 1000mA
each, and have protection circuitry for driving relays. This product consists of an LCD Character Module with the LCD2S-162 board soldered onto the back of it.
