Know before you buy
No, it uses an IIC/I2C interface, which significantly reduces the number of pins required. You only need four wires—VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL—to connect it to your Arduino R3 or Mega 2560.
The module includes a built-in backlight for visibility, and you can typically control the intensity or turn it on and off via code or by adjusting the onboard potentiometer located on the back of the module.
Yes, it is fully compatible with the standard LiquidCrystal_I2C library. This makes it very easy to integrate into your existing code without needing specialized drivers.
The module features a 3.5-inch form factor, providing a clear 16-character by 2-line display. It is compact enough for most desktop projects while remaining large enough to read text comfortably.
Yes, the IIC/I2C serial interface adapter is pre-soldered to the back of the LCD. This allows for immediate plug-and-play functionality once you connect your jumper wires.
