1. Introduction
Due to the limited number of I/O ports on Arduino, directly using the I/O ports to drive an LCD1602 would consume a lot of I/O port resources and is not conducive to connecting more other devices. The IIC LCD1602 adapter board can greatly reduce the number of IO interfaces needed. The original 1602 screen requires 7 IO ports to drive, and our developed module can save you 5 IO ports. For Arduino beginners, you don't have to worry about the complicated liquid crystal driver circuit connections. You can simply display data with just two wires, and can also connect with other IIC devices to easily achieve data recording and display.

10, Test conclusion
Arduino UNO test results:
In the case of the LCD1602 liquid crystal display module being powered on, if the display does not show any text or image, use a small screwdriver to gently adjust the potentiometer of the LCD1602 liquid crystal display module until the set text and image appear.
Display the text and images set in our program on the LCD1602 liquid crystal display.
