The LCD1602 Display Shield With Keypad for Arduino Keypad shield is developed for Arduino compatible boards, to provide a user-friendly interface that allows users to go through the menu, make selections etc. It consists of a 1602 white character blue back light LCD.

The keypad consists of 5 keys — select, up, right, down and left. To save the digital IO pins, the keypad interface uses only one ADC channel. The key value is read through a 5 stage voltage divider.

• The shield features a 16×2 character LCD display, which means it can show up to 16 characters per line and has two lines for text. This display allows you to present information, data, or messages in a clear and easy-to-read format.
• Integrated into the shield is a 5-button keypad. This includes buttons for ‘Up,’ ‘Down,’ ‘Left,’ ‘Right,’ and ‘Select’ (often labeled as ‘Enter’ or ‘OK’).
• It is fully compatible with various Arduino models, making it easy to integrate into your projects without complex wiring.
• Attaching the shield to your Arduino board is straightforward. It simply plugs onto the headers, eliminating the need for messy wires and simplifying the hardware setup.
• This shield is an excellent tool for learning and prototyping.

This is a 16×2 LCD and Keypad shield for Arduino Uno, Diecimila, Duemilanove and Freeduino boards.
