3-wire_Serial_LCD_Module__Arduino_Compatible___SKU_DFR0091

Introduction

This LCD module uses a 128x64 liquid crystal display that support Chinese character , English characters and even graphics. It can exhibit 4 lines and 12 English characters/6 Chinese characters per line. It is suitable for interactive work with Arduino.

It features a backlit control, pallerlel or serial control, contrast adjust. It can be connect to our interface shield via IDC6 socket and cables.

Mode Selection

The LCD is shipped in Parallel mode by default. The PSB_ON switch is used to set the interface mode. To switch to 3-Wire mode, Set the switch to SPI.

Sample Code

This sample is working under Parallel mode. You will need Arduino library which can be download here.

Connection in Parallel mode:
