Description: Demos the basic capabilities of the HobbyComponents 2004 20x4 I2C Serial LCD Module (HCMODU0010)


DEVICE PINOUT (SPI Interface):

PIN 1: GND
PIN 2: +5V
PIN 3: SDA - Connect to Arduino analogue PIN 4 (Or Digital 20 on a Mega 2560)
PIN 4: SCL - Connect to Arduino analogue PIN 5 (Or Digital 21 on a Mega 2560)
