I need a Fritzing Parts file for this part.

Are any problems can occur if I connect it to UNO 3.3V and something else is also connected to the 5V?

Hi Could this display be used as a drop in replacement for the serial enabled 7segment disply, part 11441

Thx

Has anyone successfully gotten this running at 38400 baud? The data sheet says it supports it but when I set the baud rate and try to print text to the screen I get "close" gibberish.

I'm using the following code: void setup() { pinMode(8, OUTPUT); delay(200);

    LCD.begin(9600);
    LCD.write(0x7C);
    LCD.write(0x10); // 38400
    delay(200);

    LCD.begin(38400);
    LCD.print("hello, world");
}

The "hello, world" comes out looking close but with some letters being replaced with special characters ("w" replaced with a pi symbol) or "o" being replaced with it's umlaut equivalent: "ö".

Anyone have any insight?

In the v2 code, the sleep() function is disabled. Is there a reason? I'd like to remain in low-power mode most of the time (running off batteries) and the 3mA or so current drains the batteries when not actively used.

Edit: Ignore everything I said here earlier. I figured it out.

I was trying to modify the Analog Read Serial code from Arduino.cc to print it to my LCD. I modified the code to look something like this:

/* AnalogReadSerial Reads an analog input on pin 0, prints the result to the serial monitor

This example code is in the public domain. */

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); }

void loop() { int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); selectLineOne(); Serial.print(sensorValue); } void selectLineOne(){ //puts the cursor at line 0 char 0. Serial.write(0xFE); //command flag Serial.write(128); //position delay(10); } Now, the values are off, i.e. when the potentiometer is turned all the way to where it should be zero, it says something like 37. However, the 1023 is constant. I can fix this problem by making the Serial.print(sensorValue); a println statement, but then there will be the two vertical bars at the end. Can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks so much for the support! -Boj

Also, is it possible to do strikethrough in the comments? The formatting help doesn't help me with that, but I think I've seen someone do something like that.

This screen works pretty well. It's maybe not the brightest backlight, even full on, but the contrast adjustment makes the letters crisp and readable. The serial interface is very straightforward. It even operates at 3.0V without much difference (a little dimmer than 3.3V, but not much).

I have ported LiquidCrystal library for use with the serial LCD you can look at my code here. Still working on finishing all the documentation. But putting up for now hopefully someone will find it usefull.

Hi, I used to buy old serial enabled screen and this time, I have bought this serial enabled screen (LCD-09068).
My problem is when I start my sketch with an old serial enabled screen, all works fine. When I start my sketch whith this new screen, all the thing I print on the screen are behind bigs red blocks. It's like if all the pixels of the screen were on, and behind, I can see the things I print...
Is it a normal thing?

Are these backpacks soldered on?

About Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD - Red on Black 3.3V
sku: LCD-09068
It says "Note: This is a 3.3v Serial LCD. Connect to a 3.3v power source."
But, when I opened the package, it says 5V on the
little serial board terminal. (as shown on in the above pic).
The main LCD pcb has a 3.3V label on it.
My guess is, that little serial board will work with either 3.3 or 5V, but my LCD is only good for 3.3V..
Am I right?
