KS0137 keyestudio EASY plug 1602 I2C Module

1. Introduction

This is a basic 16 character by 2 line LCD display with white text on blue background. On the back comes with a potentiometer to adjust the screen contrast. You can use only one line for simple connection.

This module should be used together with EASY plug control board.

#include<LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>  // Place “LiquidCrystal_I2C.h” under the directory “library” of Arduino
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2);// set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display

void setup()
{
    lcd.init();// initialize the LCD
    lcd.init();// Print a message to the LCD.
    lcd.backlight();
    lcd.setCursor(2,0);
    lcd.print("Hello, world!");
    lcd.setCursor(2,1);
    lcd.print("keyestudio!");
}

void loop()
