Project Overview This project describes in detail how to assemble and connect a serial backpack adapter to a liquid crystal display (LCD) and to a PICAXE microcontroller, as well as how to program the PICAXE to drive the LCD. All instructions and descriptions in this article are based on the assumption that you are using the SMDLCD117 2400 baud kit and a 20x4 LCD, both available from. While this project deals specifically with a PICAXE 08M2 µC, much of the information provided will apply to adding an LCD117 to a PIC, Arduino, Raspberry PI, or most other microcontrollers. A Serial LCD.What's That? A discussion of serial adapters for liquid crystal displays is available in the article entitled, '.'

If you haven't already read it, you should do so before continuing with this project. Modern Device SMDLCD117 The Modern Device surface mount LCD117 kit is shown below. It includes the PCB, a 1x16 pin female header, a 2x8 pin female header, a right angle 3-pin male header, a straight 3-pin male header, a 12-inch three-conductor cable, and a straight 16-pin male header. The SMD parts are already soldered in place. All that's left to solder is the female header, which is placed on the back side of the PCB, and the right angle 3-pin male header which goes on the front side of the PCB. The straight 16-pin male header is to be placed on the back side of the LCD (shown below) and soldered. Assembly and Connection of the LCD117 to the LCD PCB The LCD117 serial adapter is designed to connect to the rear of the LCD PCB as shown in the photo below.

Refer to the photo and assemble the serial adapter to the LCD as follows. Place the 16-pin male header on the back side (opposite the display) of the LCD PCB. Solder one pin and check to see if the header is perpendicular to the PCB; if not, heat the joint and straighten the header. Solder the remaining pins. Place the 16-pin female header on the back side (opposite the SMD components) of the serial adapter PCB. Solder one pin and check to see if the header is perpendicular to the PCB; if not, heat the joint and straighten the header. Solder the remaining pins. Place the right angle 3-pin male header on the front side (with the SMD components) of the serial adapter PCB.
