The 16 x 2 (1602) LCD Keypad Shield offers a convenient solution for Arduino enthusiasts who wish to work with LCDs and Arduino without requiring external switches.
This shield comprises a 2×16 LCD display and six momentary push buttons. It utilizes pins 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 for interfacing with the LCD. Additionally, only one analog pin (Pin 0) is employed to read the status of the five push buttons.
Moreover, the LCD shield provides support for adjusting contrast and controlling the backlight with on/off functions. It further exposes five analog pins, facilitating easy connection of analog sensors and display interaction.
Lastly, the shield includes an onboard power LED, ensuring that it’s ready for use and easily visible. This makes it a versatile and user-friendly tool for various Arduino projects.
This design is great because it easily lets you keep connecting sensors to the rest of the pins, 16 x 2 (1602) LCD Keypad Shield, and use it for monitoring or menu selection with the push buttons, even for gaming.
Additionally, often project applications require testing or debugging.
Moreover, displaying information right away helps on most occasions when a computer is not at reach.
Furthermore, if you are planning to build something not attached to a computer and you need to check what is going on when you place it in position, this addition will prove very valuable to make sure the program is running well.
Lastly, the used LCD pins are not exposed on the top side of the board, leaving only the unused ones. This way, conflicts with LCD pins on top of the board will not happen anymore.
