Questions & Answers
Mine didn't work out.
I discovered some plastic face plates that appeared to be die-cut for this display size. They're made to be bolted or glued over the display opening in the panel. They come in a variety of colors and sizes, if my memory serves me correctly. I purchased a dozen and am pleased with the results. They don't snap to the display's perimeter.br>br> br>br>I discovered them while doing a Google search. I wish I could provide you with the URL, but I don't have it with me.
You'll require a level shifter, such as https: //www. amazon. com/gp/product/B074M8TM81br>br>Because the lcd module uses about 6 or 8 lines, you'll need two or three of these level shifters.

The second image shows an i2c interface board that is NOT included (at the time of writing, March 2nd, 2016). br>br>It works perfectly. However, I wasted nearly an hour because the potentiometer could spin freely in either direction and my text was not visible. I double-checked wiring and finally spun the potentiometer 20 times in one direction, then 40 times in the other, and the text was still there!br>br>If you're worried about getting lost in unknown resistance land, my LCD worked best when the 10. The pot with a resistance of 7k has a resistance of 9. Between the LCDs "V0" and "V1", there is an 888k difference. Between - 828 kilobytes and the "V0" on the LCD This DOES work with the LiquidCrystal. br>br>Note: This DOES NOT work with the LiquidCrystal. h and library that come with the Arduino IDE by default. It appears to work without the use of an external resistor. br>br>.
I'd give it five stars if it weren't for the misleading pictures on Amazon. I hooked it up to an Arduino Nano and it works fine. The display does not come with an IIC interface, as shown in the image.
Downloads can be found on the sheet with the URL! I wish all of my Arduino components were as complete as this! )br>br>I haven't tested it yet, but I'm confident it will work fine; I have two others and haven't had any issues.
It worked well with an Arduino, and I've read on forums that many of them will accept three volts. I figured it would work with my Raspberry Pi because it uses 3V logic levels. Even when I put a diode across the voltage supply to lower the logic level, this isn't the case. It works well with an Arduino in any case, so it will be used at some point.
If you know how to use a soldering iron, this is a relatively simple installation. It worked perfectly, and my charger is now back to its old self.
Arducam IIC/I2C Serial Interface has been confirmed to work. The board came with header pins that needed to be soldered on. The provided 10K potentiometer worked fine, but I upgraded to a better model. Arducam IIC/I2C Serial Interface Adapter has been tested and confirmed to work. It came with a good set of printed instructions.
It was a great product that worked right away when I plugged it in. I connected it to a pi zero with no i2c and controlled it with the Adafruit char LCD library. For a beginner, it is extremely simple to learn!.
It's worth noting that the pin header must be soldered on by hand. Mine also came with a trimmer pot, which was a nice bonus, and I've had no problems with it thus far. There isn't much more to say about it than that it works.
