This weekend we took an itsy-bitsy-tiny-winy break from churning out new designs to try and dig our way out of the giant sample pile! we've got cool rotary encoders, some I2C LCDs, conductive fabrics, a miniature USB camera and more. Also, we'll snoop around tannewt's github repo to find a build of the DVI Feather for CircuitPython that now supports displayio to an HDMI monitor.
The Great Search - Character LCD Display with I2C
https://www.digikey.com/short/wd43mnwd
This week in our sample pile we have an I2C/SPI character LCD module we're checking out. Although historically 16x2 character displays use a parallel method of addressing - with 4 or 8 bit data input and a write latch - most folks don't want to waste so many pins on such a slow display. So, instead, many now come with I2C interfaces. That makes wiring or routing a lot easier! Digi-Key stocks a huuuuge range of character displays, lets check out what's available and some things to watch for with voltages, backlights, and polarizer types.
