📌 Code Examples & Usage – 16×2 I²C LCD (RGB Backlight and RGB Character Versions)
📋 Important – Two Versions Available
This product is available in two different RGB variants. Please ensure you follow the example that matches your version.
🔹 Version A – RGB Backlight LCD
-
Standard black characters
-
RGB backlight only (colour behind the text)
-
Characters themselves are not coloured
-
Most common version
🔹 Version B – RGB Character LCD
-
Characters themselves are RGB coloured
-
Backlight is typically fixed or non-RGB
-
Each character colour is controlled electronically
-
Less common, more “specialty” display
Both versions use I²C (IIC) and require only 4 wires.
🔌 Wiring (Same for Both Versions)
| LCD Pin | Arduino Uno | ESP32 (Example) |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | 5V | 5V |
| GND | GND | GND |
| SDA | A4 | GPIO21 |
| SCL | A5 | GPIO22 |
✔ ESP32 uses 3.3 V logic and is compatible
✔ Power at 5 V for best brightness and contrast
📦 Library Installation (Arduino IDE)
Install the following libraries:
-
LiquidCrystal_I2C
-
Wire
Some RGB variants also require direct I²C control of the backlight or character driver (examples below).
🅰️ Version A – RGB Backlight LCD
Description
-
Text is fixed colour (black)
-
Background colour is RGB
-
Two I²C addresses are commonly used:
-
LCD controller:
0x27or0x3F -
RGB controller:
0x62
-
🧪 Arduino Example – Text + RGB Backlight
🌈 Backlight Colour Examples
🅱️ Version B – RGB Character LCD
Description
-
Characters themselves are RGB coloured
-
Background/backlight is usually fixed
-
Often uses a different controller
-
Colour control is applied per character or per screen
⚠ Exact behaviour depends on the onboard RGB driver IC.
🧪 Arduino Example – RGB Characters (Generic Method)
📌 Note:
RGB character modules may:
-
Use fixed preset colours
-
Cycle colours automatically
-
Require a specific vendor library
If colour control is not responding, the display is still functioning correctly — the colour behaviour is module-specific.
🔎 Finding I²C Addresses (Highly Recommended)
Because these LCDs may use one or two I²C addresses, run this scanner if anything doesn’t work:
Common results:
-
LCD:
0x27or0x3F -
RGB controller:
0x62
🧠 Tips & Troubleshooting
✔ Blank screen → adjust contrast potentiometer
✔ Text visible, no colour → check RGB I²C address
✔ ESP32 → always call Wire.begin(SDA, SCL)
✔ Wrong colours → try different RGB values
✔ Nothing detected → run I²C scanner
