The E-blocks2 Alphanumeric LCD Board provides a 20 x 4 character alphanumeric display compatible with the standard HD44780 type displays.
There are several key differences between the LCD display on the E-blocks2 Alphanumeric LCD board and the standard HD44780 type displays listed below.
To view the LCD Embedded Font Set, please see our E-blocks2 technical datasheet.
This board is compatible with E-blocks 1 upstream boards by using the BL0113 conversion board.
The E-blocks upstream to E-blocks2 downstream connector (BL0113) is useful if you already have a 1st Generation E-blocks programmer board that you want to use with the new E-blocks2 peripheral boards.
The E-blocks2 Switch x 8 (BL0145) is a valuable tool allowing you to control what is happening in the system. The switches are push to make and active high, meaning the voltage to the microcontroller port pins is low when the switch is not pressed and high when the switch is pressed.
The E-blocks2 Prototype Board (BL0117) provides an array of standard 2.54mm pitch holes which can be used to solder electronics onto the E-blocks board permanently. The board is also supplied with a small breadboard, allowing for temporary electronics to be created and tested with the E-blocks2 system.
