I2C 1602 Serial LCD for Arduino & RPI

Everyone loves the 1602-character LCD, it is cheap and works out of the box! But the need for 6 to 10 GPIOs is the pain :) It takes most of the GPIO of Arduino and other microcontrollers. Now with this I²C or Two wires interface LCD, you will save a lot of GPIO for your sensor and motor control.

This is a great blue backlight LCD display. As the pin resources of the Arduino controller are limited, your project may not be able to use a normal LCD shield after being connected with a certain quantity of sensors or SD cards. However, with this I²C interface LCD module, you can realize data display via only 2 wires. If you already have I²C devices in your project, you can still program this LCD with the correct I²C address. It is fantastic for Arduino-based projects. 

Note: If the display is not clear (or blank), try to adjust the contrast level by tuning the onboard potentiometer.
