I2C TWI LCD2004 Module
(Arduino/Gadgeteer Compatible)
(SKU:DFR0154)
Introduction
I2C/TWI LCD2004 module compatible with Gadgeteer is a cool lcd display with a high speed I2C
serial bus from DFRobot. With the limited pin resources, your project may be out of resources using
normal LCD shield. The LCD display is a 4x20 character STN white display with a blue LED
backlight.
With this I2C interface LCD module, you only need 2 lines (I2C) to display the information.If you
already have I2C devices in your project, this LCD module actually cost no more resources at all.
Fantastic for Arduino based project.
This board is able to be powered by 5V or 3.3V which make it compatile with both
Gadgeteer, Arduino DUE3.3V system and standard Arduino UNO/ Arduino Mega 5V system.

the factory.
Connection Diagram
I2C LCD Connection Diagram
NOTE: V1.2 has a different power pinout from V1.1, please check the history v
ersion for the old connection diagram.
Arduino UNO: connect SDA to pin A4 and SCL to pin A5 on your Arduino.
Arduino Leonardo: connect SDA to digital pin 2 and SCL to digital pin 3 on your Arduino.

If you want to use the library's own sample code, pay attention to modify the initialization
statement, need to change:
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2); // set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line
display
to:
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x20,20,4); // set the LCD address to 0x20 for a 20 chars and 4 line
display(All jumpers should be connected!)
Because the default initialization statement is for LCD1602!
