lcd

Manage lcd screen (without i2c) (You need piget to use the scripts : https://github.com/pigetnet/core )

Dependencies

RPLCD : https://github.com/dbrgn/RPLCD (Documentation available at this link)

Components

Use theses keywords to find the components

• Resistor pack 240pcs : 2,50€
• LCD 16x2 : 1,50€
• Female headers 50pcs : 2,95€
• Cable 30awg 8-color: 5.37€

Wiring

You can use whichever pins you want for the lcd screen.

• Pins : http://pinout.xyz

LCD --> Cable

• Yellow --> RS
• Green --> EN
• Blue --> D4
• Brown --> D6
• Orange --> D7
• Black (GND) --> VSS
• Black (GND) --> RW
• Red (5V) --> A
• Red (5V) --> VDD

Contrast/Luminosity

You need to put a trimpot or a resistor or you won't be able to read text on the lcd screen.

• K (Luminosity) ---> Resistor (1kohm) / Trimpot 10K --> GND
• V0 (Contrast) ---> Resistor (2kohm) / Trimpot 10K --> GND

Cable --> Raspberry Pi

• Yellow --> 7
• Green --> 8
• Blue --> 25
• Purple --> 24
• Brown --> 23
• Orange --> 18

Schematics

You should make a separate stripboard to manage 5V/GND/Resistor/Trimpot (see photo)
