I2C LCD interfacing with Arduino
If you’re looking to display information on an LCD without using up all your Arduino’s I/O pins, our latest blog post is exactly what you need. In this detailed tutorial, we show you how to interface a 16x2 I2C LCD display with an Arduino UNO using just two wires—SDA and SCL—freeing up valuable pins for other sensors and modules. You'll learn what an I2C LCD is, how it works, and why it's a smarter choice compared to standard LCDs. We walk you through the required components, proper wiring, and important tips on setting the correct I2C address. Plus, we cover how to install the necessary library and provide sample code to help you display text, numbers, and even custom characters. Whether you're a beginner or a hobbyist looking to streamline your projects, this guide will make working with LCDs simpler, more efficient, and far more scalable.
