This model has a transparent display allowing you to add your own back-light if you wish!\nHigh-contrast LCD display\n3 x 16 characters (3.6mm character height)\nJust 2mm thick - wow!\n0.1\" pitch through hole - ideal for breadboards/perfboard\nST7036 controller supporting 4-bit, 8-bit, and SPI interfaces\nOperates from either a 5V or 3V3 power supply\nEight programmable characters (as well as 242 standard characters)\nIt supports SPI, 4-bit, and 8-bit addressing (you can talk to it just like a HD44780 display) making it easy to use with many micro-controllers or platforms (such as Raspberry Pi). It supports both 3V3 (though you'll need a couple of 1uF capacitors) and 5V operation.Please note: If you want to drive this display at 3V3 you will need a couple of 1uF capacitors for the charge pump.The datasheet contains sample wiring diagrams (see page 4) for all modes of operation - it's actually really darn helpful! View the full datasheet.You can use this LCD with your Raspberry Pi using our Python ST7036 driver or with an Arduino using the DogLcd library.","vendor":"Little Bird","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":7370,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PR-PIM094","price":16.63,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":3,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
