How to Use

Connect the Pins: Connect the VCC and GND to the power supply. Connect the data pins (D0-D7) to the microcontroller’s corresponding pins. Attach the RS, RW, and E pins to the appropriate control pins on the microcontroller.
Adjust the Contrast: Use a 10k potentiometer connected to the VO pin to adjust the display contrast until the characters are clearly visible.
Upload the Code: Write or upload the code to your microcontroller to send data to the LCD. Libraries like LiquidCrystal for Arduino can simplify this process.
Test the Display: Power on the system and check if the display shows the intended characters. Make necessary adjustments to the wiring or code if needed.
Mount the Display: Use the mounting holes to securely attach the display to your project enclosure or setup.

This 16×2 LCD with a header is perfect for projects that require a simple, readable output, such as displaying sensor readings, menus, or status messages.
