Seeed Grove - 16X2 LCD RGB Backlight - Full Colour Display
Grove - 16X2 LCD RGB Backlight is a full colour 16x2 LCD display for Arduino. It offers high contrast and easy handling and is suitable as an I2C LCD display for Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

The traditional 16x2 LCD requires up to 10 I/O pins for display and an additional 3 pins to control the backlight in a 16x2 LCD with RGB backlight. This takes up a lot of I/O resources on the main control board, especially for development boards with limited I/O resources such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Grove - LCD RGB Backlight changes this completely. Using the Grove I2C connector, only 2 signal lines and 2 power lines are required. The connection is made directly via the I2C interface of Seeeduino or Arduino/Raspberry Pi with baseboard via the Grove cable. No complicated wiring, no soldering and no risk of damaging the LCD due to incorrect current limiting resistors.

In addition, this LCD module is not only used to display characters, but can also display self-created images such as a heart or a smiley. 16x2 means two rows with 16 columns each, totalling 32 characters. Each character consists of 5x8 pixels.

As the name RGB backlighting suggests, the backlighting can be set to any desired colour. The background colour can be controlled by the program, for example green for a smile and red for an angry face. Alternatively, monochrome LCD variants are available, which also use the simple Grove I2C interface and are more cost-effective.

Grove - 16X2 LCD RGB Backlight is used as a full-colour display that communicates via the I2C interface and enables the display of characters, images or individual graphics. Typical applications include distance displays, temperature displays, game displays and general text and image displays. The minimal wiring effort makes this display particularly suitable for projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other platforms with limited I/O resources.

The display is used to display characters and images, to visualise sensor data, to implement game displays and is suitable for measured value or status displays. It is operated via just two control lines using an I2C connection. The RGB backlighting enables a customisable visual display depending on the desired application.
