The module uses the PCF8574, which enables most MCUs to implement remote I/O port expansion via two bidirectional buses (I2C).
The I2C interface is a huge improvement, freeing up a lot of pins on the Arduino for additional functionality. Works fine with the LCD1602 and LCD2004.
The modules can be cascaded, and more than 8 modules can be cascaded. Modify the device address by short circuit A0 / A1 / A2.The default address of I2C adapter board is 0x27.
The contrast is adjustable. Rotate the blue potentiometer to increase clockwise and decrease counterclockwise. The potentiometer is designed on the front, which is convenient for customers to adjust freely anytime and anywhere.
With backlight power control, can be connected via jumper settings are backlight power. Plug the jumper to connect the backlight off, unplug the jumper to disconnect the backlight power.
