8x2 Character LCD - Black Bezel (Parallel Interface)
This compact 8×2 LCD is great for small microcontroller projects where you want more than just a blinking LED for feedback.
This unit uses the standard HD44780 parallel interface, features a black bezel, and operates without a backlight.
This little 8-character, 2-line parallel liquid crystal display is a generic equivalent of the Optrex DMC-50448N-AAE-AD LCD.
It is incorporated into some versions of our Zumo 32U4 and 3pi robots.
You can find sample HD44780 LCD interface code written for a variety of AVR microcontrollers as part of the Pololu AVR library. If you are using an Arduino board, you can get started with Arduino’s LiquidCrystal library.\
