20 x 4 LCD

20 x 4 LCD

The Parallax Serial LCDs are very functional, low-cost liquid crystal displays that can be easily interfaced to and controlled by a microcontroller using a I/O pin.

Code examples are included for the BASIC Stamp® and Propeller™ chip.

The LCD displays provide basic text wrapping so that your text looks correct on the display.

Full control over all of their advanced LCD features allows you to move the cursor anywhere on the display with a single instruction and turn the display on and off in any configuration.

They support the same visible characters as the BASIC Stamp Editor’s Debug Terminal (ASCII Dec 32-127).

In addition, you may define up to eight of your own custom characters to display anywhere on the LCD.
