Review on LIVISN 1602 LCD Keypad Shield with Blue Backlight for 16x2 LCD Expansion Board, Compatible with 4.5-5.5V by Eric Trask

You may not get what is shown in

If you choose to mount flush to the panel, please note you may not receive the item shown. There are different manufacturers of these funds. The device I received was an early version from a different reputable manufacturer than LIVISN and had a higher potentiometer. Flush mounting requires a small square hole in the panel. Such a small hole cannot be made with a standard punch tool. I already had such a unit and wanted a shorter pot, as shown in the picture. The grid of the through holes in the lower right corner is also very different, but that doesn't matter in my application.

Pros
  • . This 1602 LCD expansion board in the real sense of the circuit is simplified, the Arduino Duemilanove controller can be directly inserted into the board.
Cons
  • New Competitors Have Arrived
