3V3 I2C and SPI 1602 Serial Character LCD

Check out this tutorial video showing the example program and wiring of this LCD with Raspberry Pi Pico:

This is a 1602 serial alphanumeric LCD with white characters on a blue backlight display. With AIP31068L driver IC, it only needs a 3.3V power supply to work. To ease your way, the header pin is pre-soldered. Hence, you can use it right away!

Pin assignment:

• Vss: Ground (0V)
• VDD: Supply voltage for logic, 3.3VDC
• CS: Chip select pin. 
  • ”L”: 3-Line Interface
  • “open”: I2C Interface
• PSB: Parallel/serial select pin
  • ”H”: I2C Interface
  • ”L”: 3-Line Interface
• SCLK: Serial clock
• SDA: Serial data input

It works well with 3.3V boards, for example, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, Maker Uno, NodeMCU ESP8266, Micro:Bit V2 & V1.5, the library for Micropython, Arduino and MakeCode are ready.

• Driver IC: AIP31068L
• 16x2 character display
• White characters with blue backlight
• Comes with both I2C and SPI interface
• I2C address: 0x3E, or 62 (decimal)
• I2C: 16-bit, 1 control byte + 1 data byte
• SPI: 9-bit
• Voltage supply: 3.3VDC
• Outline dimension: 80x36x13.0mm
• Display area: 64.5x14.5mm

Note: This LCD only needs 3.3V to work properly. Please DO NOT connect to 5V output.
