This new Adafruit Pi Plate simplifies integrating an RGB 16x2 Character LCD, minimizing pin usage to just two I2C pins on your Raspberry Pi. The kit includes a high-quality PCB with necessary components, ensuring easy assembly in about 30 minutes, even for novices.
The Pi Plate supports both Revision 1 and 2 Raspberry Pi models. Its design accommodates the Pi Model B+ and Pi 2, using an extra-tall 26-pin header to sit above USB and Ethernet jacks safely. Electrical tape is recommended for insulation.
Offering a sleek user interface with 4 directional buttons and a select button, it transforms projects into stand-alone systems without a computer. The Python library simplifies interfacing, debouncing keypad inputs, and controlling LCD backlight colors like Red, Green, Blue, and more.
