Working of 2004 LCD Module
The 2004 LCD module works by receiving commands and data from a microcontroller like Arduino.
It uses a combination of pins to control the display's backlight, contrast, and text.
The I2C module can simplify communication by using just two pins (SDA and SCL). The
microcontroller sends ASCII data to the LCD, which is displayed on the 4-line, 20-character
screen.
Applications of 2004 LCD Module
Used in embedded systems for displaying text or data.
Widely used in DIY Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects.
Ideal for home automation and IoT devices.
Used in temperature and humidity monitoring systems.
Implemented in industrial control panels for data display.
