2x16 Serial LCD Modules with Integrated Microcontroller, Advanced Features |
 |
ILM-216L Serial LCD
The ILM-216 offers a terminal-style serial interface (like our larger 4x20 and 4x40 modules), with these advanced features:
- 1200 - 9600 baud serial input with 16-byte buffer
- Four inputs for switches/buttons that can be read via the serial connection
- EEPROM storage of settings, six custom characters, and a text screen that can be automatically displayed at startup (splash screen)
- Serial control of the standard LED backlight
- Output for a piezo buzzer that responds to the ASCII bell character
- Low current draw; 5mA (backlight off) to 40mA (backlight on).
- Automatic right-alignment features for easy spreadsheet-style formatting of frequently updated data fields

ESC |
Escape; begin multipart instruction (below) |
- Define graphics block character: ESC D n B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 where n is the character number (0-7) and B0 - B7 are bytes mapping the pixels.
- Transfer data from EEPROM to display: ESC E n where n is "0" or "1" meaning text screen or custom symbols, respectively.
- Read the keys (switch inputs) and report serially: ESC K n where n sets the format of the response with "0" meaning single byte with bits 0-3 corresponding to S1 - S4, and "1" meaning four text bytes consisting of "0" or "1" ("1" = switch closed).
