Description
The Designer Systems DS-LCDD5 module provides a simple means of connecting any device capable of standard RS232 serial or I2C communication to a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) module of 16 x 2, 20 x 2, 40 x 2 or 20 x 4 character/lines featuring a RGB backlight. The DS-LCDD5 provides complete control of character placement, customisation and cursor movement to ensure that your application is up-and-running in a fraction of the time necessary to implement the standard LCD control protocol. The DS-LCDD5 also features on-board supply regulation for both LCD supply and backlight, and also includes fully ‘jumperless’ setup of internal features over the serial/I2C link. These include 256 levels of RED, GREEN and BLUE (RGB) backlight colour, internal backlight colour pulsing with variable speed, serial baud rate (9600 baud default), number of display lines and I2C address. A demonstration kit is available which can be used to create a revolving display when power is applied. See datasheet within DS-LCDD5-DEMO zip file. The following animation shows a little of what is possible:
