Gravity: 1602 LCD Keypad Shield

SKU: DFR0009

Explore the Arduino LCD Keypad Shield, equipped with a 2x16 LCD display and a 5-key interface, designed to enhance user-friendly interfaces for Arduino and Freeduino boards. This shield supports contrast adjustment, backlit control, and expands analog pins for additional sensors, using a single ADC channel via a 5-stage voltage divider to conserve IO pins. Ideal for creating intuitive menus and selections, the shield offers a versatile solution for hobbyists and developers looking to simplify user interactions in their projects.

    FAQ

    • Why my LCD keypad cannot display anything on the Intel Edison while all right on Romeo?

      It works well if uploaded by Arduino 1.5.3 version, however, the latest 1.6.* have discard pin Definition for Edison. So you have to add pinMode(); into the setup() like this:

      void setup() {

      for(int i=4;i<10;i++){

      pinMode(i,OUTPUT);

      } lcd.begin(16, 2); // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows

      }

    • I do not understand your schematic. There are too many connectors illustrated than are actually on the shield. Could you show me a mapping?

      The J1-J8 include the both the user interface, i.e. Analog pins, APC220(Serial) pins, Digital pins, and the pins connected with the lower Arduino card, e.g. Uno/ Leonardo. Here is a simple mapping picture.
