2-line, 16-character display for E-blocks systems This 2-line, 16-character alphanumeric LCD with contrast control uses 6 lines of an E-blocks port to allow the display of numbers and characters. The LCD is fully supported within the PIC Flowcode flowchart programming software, which makes adding an LCD character display to your application as easy as placing a single flowchart symbol and typing in the text message you want to display. The LCD Module uses a Samsung KS0066U controller, which is similar to the Hitachi HD44780 controller.  E-blocks Overview E-blocks are small circuit boards each of which contains a block of electronics that you would typically find in an electronic system. Each E-block performs a separate function as either an input sub-system, an output sub-system, an input/output sub-system or a processing sub-system. E-blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems. Each E-block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to 8 input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-blocks that need it from the processing E-blocks that have on-board 5V regulators. Processing E-blocks control the whole E-blocks system. PICmicro microcontrollers are used as the preferred processor; they provide up to 5 E-block ports with up to 8 lines per port. Bundle Options You can also order the Flowcode bundled with the board at a significant discount. Ships from: USA
