This new Adafruit shield makes it easy to use a 16x2 Character LCD. Unfortunately, most 16x2 LCDs require quite a few digital pins, usually 9 to control the LCD and backlight. With this in mind, we devised a shield that lets you control a 16x2 Character LCD, up to 3 backlight pins AND 5 keypad pins using only the two I2C pins. Click the link labeled 'Project Website' to find out more. As of May 29, 2024, the PCB's design has been updated. Now it comes with the buttons, chips and other components already soldered into place. You will still need to solder on the shield headers and the LCD, but it's a lot easier.
