The most annoying of the projects with Arduino and LCD is the number of threads, because they are needed 4 for the data, two for control, two for power and two more for a pot. This module I2C 16 display×2 embedded facilitates the project, for now are required only 4 wire to get the Arduino communicates with the LCD.
This is a soldier behind a conventional HD44780 LCD display 16×2.
You can buy this module separately If you already have the display.
The connection to the Arduino is easy: SDA in A4 and SDL on A5 (Analog in the Arduino). Although A4 and A5 are analog input pins, they turn 1 1 standard I2C interface by pressing the correct library.
Works great and is much more practical than using the Conventional LCD. For testing I used the code This page.
Liked the idea of simplifying the project, aside from conserve conventional pins Arduino Uno for other projects. I leave below the links to the products used in this text:
