This kit includes an assembled LCD117 Driver Board and a 20 × 4 blue character LCD. Everything needed to convert a serial signal into characters on an LCD Screen!
Uses a three-wire serial interface, consisting of ground, +5 volts and serial data, and even includes the cable to hook it up.
It’s all assembled and tested with headers soldered on the LCD. Just unpack, mate the LCD and 117 driver board hook up the signals and start sending serial data to the LCD.

The price is just slightly higher than the pieces separately because we have to solder the headers on the LCD and test the whole package.

This package includes:

• LCD117 Board Assembled and Tested
• 20 × 4 Blue character LCD white letters on a blue background
• 12" three conductor cable with two female ends for connecting the LCD board to a microcontroller
• 3 pin double male header for connecting to breadboard, proto board, or female BBB analog header socket.
