## Description

The SparkFun 16×2 SerLCD is a serial-enabled LCD that provides a simple, cost-effective way to add an RGB-on-black liquid crystal display to your project. An on-board ATmega328P microcontroller handles all screen control, eliminating the need for a separate backpack board. The display supports three communication interfaces — serial (UART), I2C, and SPI — and includes a Qwiic connector for quick, solderless I2C connections. The open-source firmware allows full customisation of the display behaviour. Key Features 16×2 RGB on Black Display – Clear, readable text with customisable RGB backlighting Triple Interface – Serial (UART), I2C, and SPI communication options Qwiic Connector – Polarised 4-pin JST connector for solderless I2C hookup On-Board Controller – ATmega328P with 11.0592 MHz crystal for accurate communication Adjustable Baud Rate – 1200 to 1,000,000 baud (default 9600) Open-Source Firmware – Fully customisable to suit your project needs Specifications Display – 16×2 character LCD, RGB on black Controller – ATmega328P AVR Crystal – 11.0592 MHz Interfaces – Serial (UART), I2C (Qwiic), SPI Default Baud Rate – 9600 Operating Voltage – 3.3V Ideal For Displaying sensor readings and system status Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontroller projects Data logging and monitoring dashboards Prototyping with the Qwiic I2C ecosystem Warning: The SerLCD is a 3.3V device. If using a 5V microcontroller, ensure you use appropriate logic level conversion to avoid damaging the display. Resources Hookup Guide
