I realized that the LCD I received does not have the LCD2004 board on the back. Is this still usable with the Arduino? Any links with 'how to'? thx

You probably have something that looks like this http://www.arduinoecia.com.br/2014_06_01_archive.html Look at pictures, and only translate if you need. Without the I2C board the number of pins is much larger, something like this: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystal Most all these devices are at some level based on the hitachi HD44780, so everything is similar, you may have bought this by accident also available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/HD44780-20x4-White-Text-Background/dp/B005YTAHAU I've used both on PIC processors and the Arduino with and without the I2C back board. The pinouts for your particular board could vary so find the ID number. This is time consuming but not terribly hard for most occasions. Lots and lots of data on the web. For the I2C sainsmart, search on sainsmart 2004 or 20x4 or on the but the pinouts can differ so you must ID the source. Here is a typical example display, with pinouts http://www.hwkitchen.com/products/lcd-display-4x20-characters/ or this tutorial: http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/LCD-Blue-I2C The Sainsmart board includes a 4 pin header and a two pin header on a separate I2C board on the backside of the display, looks like this http://4tronix.co.uk/arduino/I2C_LCD_Module.php. The two pin connection must be jumpered to provide backlighting. The 4 pin connector has two pins for 5V power coming from the Arduino, and two data transmission pins. Hope that helps. I had a horrible time editing this note, cut and paste nightmare, no idea why. good luck!!

The actual product may or may not include the I2C interface depending on which seller you buy from. SainSmart LCDs (sold by Sain Store) likely include the I2C interface. I purchased from Tosell888 which did not include the I2C but some of their pictures showed the I2C interface and other pictures did not. Bottom line: I would ask the seller before buying to make sure which one you are getting. I was surprised that some comments indicate people are irritated when they received the product that has the I2C interface but I later realized that the IC2 interface on the Arduino shares the pins with ADC 5 and 6 and others needed those for ADC functions.

the plug is the same, it is the same size, and works perfectly, the only problem is that the mounting tabs are in a different location, what i did was use some double sided foam tape to attach lcd to the cover, this made it slightly thicker so the frame didn't go back on very well, so i then used some black duct tape to hole the frame on, it isn't a pretty as i would like it to be but it was an ok fix for the price, better than paying $400 for a new lcd, if you can find one, hope i could help

Sounds like a defective lcd display. The one I received worked right away. U may want to exchange it. Sorry about the tools. They weren't that great. Luckily I had my own.

No. If you remove your LCD you can see if it has a left or a right side connector. Then you can order the correct LCD.Other commenters said that they needed the extension connector because the LCD had the connector on the wrong side. They called the company and were sent an extension adaptor.

Sorry, but when I got this display it did not come with any instructions or wiring diagrams. Yes you can use it for the pi and or the arduino, but good luck finding out how. Do yourself a favor and go to Adafruit.com and buy from them. Everything they sell comes with how to instructions and even downloadable software. They even have tutorials for many subjects you may be interested in. I cannot say enough great things about this New York based company. Amazon is a great place to buy many many things but when it comes to electronic components, Adafruit is one of the best. Good luck.

Yes, I used the screen with the Arduino Due. Just make sure you have the proper libraries.

interesting - it looks to me like the text has changed on this product. I've never seen a "Newsite Uno" before. Regardless, I definitely received an Arduino Uno, and all the pictures still indicate Arduino. Find another product if you want to be 100% positive, but I'd say it's still a safe bet to buy this. Good luck!

Well,ds s what i did,i order a 2nd gen lcd screen 4 my ipod 3g because i did some research before i order it & it seems dat if i had order d lcd screen 4 a 3rd gen wouldn't work right,so i did order d 2nd gen lcd screen & m having a few problems with it,but at least s working 4 d most part so m not complaining,it was my first time doing it,& before dat d ipod wouldn't wok it all... ( d power button doesn't work & sometimes d screen doesn't react as fast as i touch on it,i guess s cuz of d 3rd gen ipod having a 2nd gen screen) it was my fault anyways :) thanks for caring.

maybe is the best i can say. ive had mine for about a year but could not find a good example of how to properly wire it their example was only for their breakout board. but technicly if it is the same as a regular arduino mega it should work

You don't actually buy a new LCD. You can buy just the little light. Installing it is a monster pain though. There are several tutorials on youtube however.

hello friend, thanks for your message, there are multiply models for this lcd screen, you can order it and attach your part number such as HSD101PWW1 REV 0 or and HSD101PWW1 REV 4 ...then we will ship your the correct model soon, any question, please feel free to let us know,

I am sorry friend but mine is still working fine. Make sure there is not connection problem in the camera itself. If you are lucky Sony may have a replacement LCD. They bought it from someone else. I am sure it is a separate part; unless they are like Cannon which does not repair or have parts for their cameras anymore.

Here is a link to a discussion about the board: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=110876.0 What type of motor are you trying to control? A stepper motor? a servo motor? What type of micro controller are you using an arduino?

As far as I remember, I bought this adapter in error, as I couldn't use it for my needs; but it looked as a good and solid item, though! (What's an 'Arduino Leonardo' anyway?). Henry.

You will need 10 wires, and a potentiometer to make this work the way it is. http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystalDisplay Alternatively, you can purchase an i2c to LCD board such as this one : http://www.amazon.com/Black-Serial-Interface-Adapter-Module/dp/B00MJVLIW2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1414588033&sr=1-1&keywords=i2c+lcd+board solder this to your LCD and read this http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/LCDI2C Then you can use only 4 wires.

Everything but the LCD definitely works. I'm pretty sure the LCD would work. Just haven't tested it yet.
