KS0381 EASY plug I2C 1602 LCD Module-180° Interface

Keyestudio EASY plug I2C 1602 LCD Module-180° Interface

Introduction

This is a basic 16 character by 2 line LCD display module.
The LCD module displays white text on blue background, and comes with I2C communication interface.
You can use only one line to connect it to microcontroller’s I2C communication interface.
On the back comes with a potentiometer, which can be used to adjust the backlight, with default address 0x27.
It is very easy for you to connect the module to control board for communication using only an RJ11 cable

Test Code

Copy and paste below code to Arduino IDE and upload.

#include<Wire.h>    // Place file “Wire.h” under the directory “library” of Arduino
#include<LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>  // Place “LiquidCrystal_I2C.h” under the directory “library” of Arduino
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2);// set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display
void setup()
{
lcd.init();// initialize the LCD
lcd.init();// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.backlight();
lcd.setCursor(2,0);
lcd.print("Hello, world!");
lcd.setCursor(2,1);
lcd.print("keyestudio!");
}
void loop()
{
}

Code to Note:
Before compile the code, do remember to put the libraries needed inside the libraries folder of Arduino IDE directory. Download all the libraries:

Test Result

Initially, you should see the words “hello, word!” and “keyestudio!” pop up on your LCD.
Remember you can adjust the contrast using the potentiometer on the module back if you can’t make out the words clearly.
