Supports the following Matrix Orbital commands:.

If you don't want to use the commands, you can just start sending ASCII to the LCD and it will magically appear as typed.ĭoes not include an LCD module! You'll need to pick out an LCD from the shop and solder it on the back. Adafruit added a few extra commands for the RGB backlight and setting the LCD size. The command interface is compatible with the popular 'Matrix Orbital' specifications so this backpack will work perfectly with computer applications or libraries that are expecting a 'Matrix' LCD such as 'LCD Smartie'. Any customizations such as baud rate, backlight color, brightness, splash screen, etc. (The baud rate is flashed on the LCD during powerup). For the TTL connection, the default baud rate is 9600 but you can send it a command to set the baud rate to 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 28800, or 57600 baud. For the USB connection, it will work at any baud rate. The backpack will automatically select data from whichever input is being used. The USB interface shows up as a COM/serial port on Windows/Mac/Linux. Inside this backpack is an USB-capable AT90USB162 chip that listens for commands both a mini-B USB port and a TTL serial input wire. This custom-designed PCB can connect to the back of any 16x2 or 20x4 character LCD and does everything you could want: printing text, automatic scrolling, setting the backlight, adjusting contrast, making custom characters, turning on and off the cursor, etc.

Adding a character display to your project or computer has never been easier with the new Adafruit USB or TTL serial backpack!
