Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD - White on Black 5V

It is the freshest serial LCD from SparkFun. Similarly to other SparkFun LCD screens it is put on single board with a microcontroller, however in contrast to the other screens in our offer (SP027 and SP028) it is based on PIC16F88 rather than ATmega328.

The installed program enables sending simple commands through a TTL serial on 5V wih a default baud rate of 9600bps, however the baud rate is adjustable from 2400 to 38400bps. The pins are broken out to a 3 pin JST connector. In-built potentiometer enables adjustment of contract and dimming the backlight to save power!

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* PCB: 103x36mm
• LCD: 71.4x26.4mm
