Serial LCD 16X2 Display• Features:• Embedded PIC 16F88 utilizes onboard UART for greater communication
accuracy• Adjustable baud rates of 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200 and 38400• Operational Backspace
• Greater processing speed at 10MHz• Incoming buffer stores up to 80 characters• Backlight transistor can handle up to 1A• Pulse width modulation of backlight allows direct control of backlight brightness
and current consumption• All surface mount design allows a backpack that is half the size of the original• Faster boot-up time• Boot-up display can be turned on/off via firmware• User definable splash screen
