LCD displays are a fun way to learn how to code with a Raspberry Pi, Arduino and most development boards, however, they usually come with a lot of pin connections.
This 16x2 Waveshare LCD1602 LCD module, based on the AiP31068L display driver, has white text with a lovely sky-blue background. It also features an I2C interface requiring just 4 pin connections, making wiring your project not only much easier but also leaving more room for other devices.
Add the smooth rounded edges, handy M3 mounting holes and included jumper wire and you've just found the ultimate LCD upgrade!
The online resources provide demo code for the Raspberry Pi, Pico, Arduino, ESP32 and more.
Note: Raspberry PI is NOT included

I2C 16x2 LCD Module
This thing is incredibly hard to get to work with a Pico. I've been trying for weeks and still no result. Pretty disappointed.

I2C 16x2 LCD Module
I've been using this display for a couple of months now, and it works well. Like another reviewer, I found it helpful to have the Waveshare webpage as a guide as I'd not had any experience of displays like this. One problem that I did hit which the Waveshare webpage did not seem to cover was an error when I ran the Python code test.py: TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed out. I eventually managed to solve that by editing /boot/config.txt to add a line:
dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,i2c_gpio_sda=2,i2c_gpio_scl=3,i2c_gpio_delay_us=2,bus=1
The display and the RPi driving it is on 24-7. The only other problem I've had is that the text on the second line, or both lines, of the display occasionally disappears. I gather this is caused by the host and the LCD losing sync with each other, and it can be fixed by executing the setup command lcd=LCD1602.LCD1602(16,2) from Python again.
I'm very happy overall with the display.

As a basic display this is great value. The Micropython code (from a Pico) worked first time. The packaging provides good protection.

Took me a while to get my code to display something, but once I'd figured it out, works like a charm. The white on blue is really nice

Easy to interface to and communicate with.
Clear, bright display and well placed mounting holes. Just what I needed.

At last - a simple display that's readable and well documented. I wasted too much time on fancier displays that give such small text that I can't read it!
