LCD Keypad Shield
OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
One of the basic interfacing requirements for the hobbyists or electronics enthusiasts is I/P
(keypad) and O/P (LCD display) for prototype applications. This shield uses minimum number
I/O’s that is 4 bits for LCD data and 2 control signal lines for the same. A single analog pin (Pin
A0) is multiplexed to read 5 input key switches (Navigation keys). Each key has been pulled up
to a different voltage level, so a different voltage will be generated every time a user selects a
key. This voltage could be read by the analog pin A0 on the board. Hence saves the no of I/O
pins. The backlight of the LCD could be controlled by setting PWM (Pin D10) by adding a few
lines of code.
FEATURES
 16X2 Blue color back light LCD.
 A single Analog pin is multiplexed to read 5 input Keys.
 Optional PWM based Back light control.
 Stackable on UNO shield
 High quality PCB FR4 Grade with FPT Certified.
