## Description

The Adafruit RGB Positive 16×2 LCD + Keypad Kit is a Pi Plate that combines a 16×2 character LCD with RGB backlight and a 5-button keypad, all controlled over I2C using just two pins. The positive-style display shows dark text on a coloured background for a classic, easy-to-read look. By using an I2C port expander, this kit frees up your GPIO pins — and since I2C is a shared bus, you can still connect other I2C devices like sensors and RTCs alongside the display. The 4 directional buttons plus select button provide a built-in user interface for standalone projects. Key Features I2C Interface – Controls the LCD, RGB backlight, and 5 buttons using only the SDA/SCL pins RGB Backlight – Displays red, yellow, green, teal, blue, violet, white, or off (on/off per channel, not PWM) 5-Button Keypad – 4 directional buttons plus select, with software debouncing in the library 16×2 Character LCD Included – RGB positive display (dark text on coloured background) included in the kit Shared I2C Bus – Other I2C devices can share the same bus Extra-Tall Header – Clears USB and Ethernet jacks on the Pi Compatibility Raspberry Pi Models – Works with Revision 1, Revision 2, Model A+, B+, Pi 2, and Pi 3 Model B+ / Pi 2 Note – Place a piece of electrical tape on the USB ports to prevent the resistors from shorting against the metal housings Also Consider RGB Negative 16×2 LCD + Keypad Kit – Same kit with a negative display (light text on coloured background) Ideal For Standalone Pi projects with built-in user interface Status displays and system monitors Menu-driven configuration interfaces IoT dashboards without a full monitor Package Contents 1× Pi Plate PCB with all surface-mount components 1× RGB Positive 16×2 Character LCD 5× Tactile buttons 1× Extra-tall 26-pin header All required passive components Note: This is a kit requiring soldering. Assembly takes approximately 30 minutes and is suitable for beginners. Raspberry Pi is sold separately. Resources Assembly Guide & Python Library Tutorial
