I2C IIC LCD 1602 Module (2 Pack), New Type TWI Serial 16x2 Display, Compatible with Arduino Raspberry Pi Pico ESP32 ESP8266

Using with an Arduino Uno connected right up worked without issue I’ve had it connected for sometime and have had no problems, runs several hours at a time.

Worked perfectly in my electronics class. Easy to connect with Arduino and ESP32, clear display, and very reliable. Excellent value for beginners!

Worked as expected and is of good quality.

Mostly a great product with one exception: These displays are missing a potentiometer. Which allows you adjust the brightness of the backlight. The text is sometimes hard to read as a result.

Works well, inexpensive

I wanted this to work so bad because it has a slimmer profile with the I2c chip built in. Unit came different as than pictured. I swapped out in a working project and the display does not display. suspect contrast needs adjusted but there is no adjustment as there normally is...so, junk Zero stars if it were an option

Shipped on time, and I tested both screens and they both work. Was very easy to setup with their tutorials.

Works well at 5v, but at 3.3v it’s barely readable. No contrast adjustment with the updated model. If you are using usb to power your ESP you can use the VIN pin for 5v. That ended up being my workaround.

Great for messing around with and easy to get working. worth the money

上手く動作しましたありがとうございました。

Prima, degelijk tegen een zeer correcte prijs.

Convient pour des besoins d'affichage limités en nombre de caractères mais bien lisibles. Mise en oeuvre en I2C très facile sous Arduino. La luminosité n'est pas réglable comme sur certains anciens modèles, mais heureusement la luminosité et le contraste sont satisfaisants.

I am always very skeptical about ordering these types of products from Amazon as usually when you get it they want you to download and install some "required drivers" from some website in China or even worse give you some short url hiding the destination like an IP address to some executable file they want you to install. If that's the case I just return it and find something a little more reputable to buy instead. With that being said, that wasn't the case here, they do provide a user friendly url to their product page, but I just did a Google search instead for "freenove fnk0079" and was very pleasantly surprised to see the download on github! So I downloaded the code from github instead and after the usual quick virus scan, I proceeded to see what was all included. They did provide the documentation and inside the Arduino folder and they did include a library written in C++ with a header file as well, so I went through the code to see what was actually in there and it looked like what I would expect for a C library. Their documents said I could just import this zip file into my Arduino IDE library and use it like any standard C library (import the header file, that .h file in the include statement at the top of the sketch). This was the code to actually control the LCD display and even though there are other libraries available for lcd displays, I went with the one they provided. There was also a folder called "CH340" in the github download with some executables in it with no explanation as to what it was or why it was there so I just deleted it. According to the linux version it's some form of usb drivers or something which said they should already be part of the Linux kernel but if not you can use these. It wasn't required and Windows worked without installing anything "extra". I connected one of my Elegoo nano boards (3 pack from Amazon) and proceeded to test these displays out. Was happy that I didn't have to solder on a control board or anything as the "newer version" didn't require anything extra, hence why they ask to check the chip version in the product page and in their documentation. They do have code to check for the chip version and the 0x27 was the default so nothing was needed to be done on my side. Probably a perk of using their library instead. They provide a basic sketch to give you a "hello, world!" On the first line then a counter on the second line running on a loop. It only needed 4 pins which was great, so connected it to my Arduino nano microcontroller and uploaded the sketch and voila, it worked as advertised! I tried both displays and they both worked without issue. So in summary, I am very impressed they actually had their code on github, worked as advertised and was a good deal for a 2 pack of lcd displays. Since I have the library installed now in my IDE I can see myself ordering a few more so I have some extras on hand. Am quite happy with this purchase and would order again.
