Sparkfun Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD - White on Black 5V

Communication with SerLCD requires TTL (5V) serial data 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. Displays white characters on a black backlit background.

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.

Features:

• Embedded PIC 16F88 utilizes onboard UART for greater communication accuracy
• Adjustable baud rates of 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200 and 38400
• Operational Backspace
• 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
• Faster boot-up time
• Boot-up display can be turned on/off via firmware
• User definable splash screen

Dimensions:

• PCB: 103x36mm
