HiLetgo 2004 20X4 LCD Display LCD Screen Serial with IIC I2C Adapter Yellow Green Color LCD for Arduino Raspberry Pi

As an I2C device this was a no brainer and didnt consume any pins on my Arduino since the I2C bus is shared with several other devices. Once you adjust the potentiometer for the brightness it is very nice to read. It needs a different library than its 16x2 cousin but that was a breeze to find and install.

price very good deliver fast come assembled

Bought two screens and thought one was not working. HiLetgo was very quick to offer technical assistance. It turns out I just got two screens with different I2C addresses and I was trying to use the same address for both. I am now very happy with both. FYI the addresses for my screens were 0x27 and 0x3f. Or if you are smarter than me you can look up the PCF8574 datasheet and probe pins A0, A1, and A2 to determine exactly what your address is.

This works great with the i2clibraries.i2c_lcd class in Python. I tried it on 3.3v, but it needs the 5v. The backlight comes with a jumper cap, but I swapped it for a 10k pot, so now I have brightness control as well (see pic). And, its bigger than you expect, especially after using tiny oleds.

Amazing product

Plugged it in to my Arduino, and it works with the standard arduino library. No problems whatsoever.

I received the LCD display like a couple of months ago and its still working and is way better than the led display that comes with the elegoo Arduino kit. also I am a human and also um...I forgot what I was gonna say. OH YEAH to get the library for the display you just look for LiquidCrystal_I2C by Frank de Brabander and you should be good. Again goof luck, this is a good product.

I2C is the way to go to minimize the pin count used on your board. Love the contrast Black on Yellow display very bright and very easy to read, The Contrast control works great. Price point is about right for this product and Yes I will purchase more the next time I need more displays .

Replaced a 16x2 Lcd with this and I love it! Installing and modifications of the arduino code was a breeze. Used the LiquidCystal_I2 library. Example sketch included a scanner for finding the address. (0x27 on mine). If you are using a 16x2 this is a great upgrade!

I hooked this 20 x 4 line display up as my temperature monitor. Works great and in programming all you need to know is the lines you are displaying (4) and the max characters you display (20). I blew one with walking on my rug and zaping it with static discharge, now i get square characters.
