Description: This is the latest
evolution of our serial LCD. Included on a single board is a 16x2 LCD
and an embedded circuit based around a PIC 16F88. The on-board PIC
takes a TTL serial input and prints the characters it receives onto the
LCD. The installed firmware also allows for a number of special
commands so you can clear the screen, adjust the backlight brightness,
turn the display on/off, and more. Communication
with SerLCD requires 5V TTL serial at a default baud rate of 9600bps
(8-N-1). You can adjust the baud to any standard rate between 2400 and
38400bps. The power (VDD), ground (GND) and RX pins are all broken out
to both a 0.1" pitch header as well as a 3-pin JST connector. SerLCD
has the ability to dim the backlight to conserve power if needed. There
is also a potentiometer on the back of the display to adjust the
contrast. This LCD makes for a great gift, because it can be used for so many different projects! For more gift ideas check out the SparkFun Gift Guide! Features:- Embedded PIC 16F88 utilizes onboard UART for greater communication accuracy
