Butterfly Platform LCD Adapter Wing (BPW5003)

The LCD Adapter Wing is an 8 or 16 Bit Wing that allows 3.3V HD44780 compatible character LCD's to be used. The Wing is only an adapter and 3.3V HD44780 compatible LCD is required to be purchased seperately.

Applications

Character based output displays.

Specifications

The 3.3V LCD Adapter Wing does not come populated with a LCD.

Pinout

The LCD Adapter Wing can function as a 16 Bit or 8 Bit Wing. All critical signals are available on the first 8 Bits so if basic functionality is all that is required then just plug the first 8 Bits in. If advanced functionality is required then use all 16 Bits.
