The Gravity I2C LCD1602 is a 16×2 character LCD display module from DFRobot's Gravity series, redesigned with a clean modern look and simplified I2C interface. It eliminates the need for contrast adjustment, retains backlight control, and is compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems — making it a plug-and-play display for Arduino and other microcontroller projects.

Using I2C communication, the module requires just two data lines (SDA and SCL) plus power, freeing up GPIO pins for other components. The gray backlight gives a subtle, professional look compared to traditional green LCD modules.
