Product Description
Introduction
LCD1602 is an industrial character type LCD that can show 16*2, i.e. 32 characters. The character generator ROM in the LCD module has already stored 160 different characters in dot matrix, including Arabic numbers, letters in low and upper case, and common symbols. compatible with Arduino IDE, a built-in library LiquidCrystal can be called directly, and you don't need to write it, which is pretty convenient for beginners.
Its working voltage is 5V, and you can adjust the contrast via the 50K potentiometer. For the backlight, just connect pin A to 3.3V and K to GND, and then it will light up.
Note: You need to solder the Pin Headers before application.
Pins of LCD1602 and their functions:
VSS: connected to ground
VDD: connected to a +5V power supply
VO: to adjust the contrast
RS: A register select pin that controls where in the LCD’s memory you are writing data to. You can select either the data register, which holds what goes on the screen, or an instruction register, which is where the LCD’s controller looks for instructions on what to do next.
R/W: A Read/Write pin to select between reading and writing mode
E: An enabling pin that, when low-level energy is supplied, causes the LDC module to execute relevant instructions.
D0-D7: to read and write data
A and K: Pins that control the LCD backlight

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the performance, ease of use, and quality of the display. They mention that it works well, is easy to setup, and is useful for engineering projects. Customers also like the display, but have mixed opinions on the brightness and pins.

The bus_scan demo showed it at 0x3F. It worked fine after this adjustment was made in the program.
(Dont forget the 3.3v to 5v level converter if used with pico).
Other than that little curveball it's great.
Not the worst problem you can have!
Also bought the 2004 model and the I2C backpack needed to be re-soldered to the LCD.
Not going to complain much considering the price. Works great
1) They don't give you the pin out - just a Fritz 'picture' of the circuit board. I made the pin out table, in the attached picture
2) Their sample code is overly complicated if you are using this as one of your first LCD tools (as I am).
Just try
lcd.print(" Hello World!") ;
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft() ;
delay(250) ;
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft() ;
delay(250) ;
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft() ;
// etc. Actually, put the above in a loop, but I don't want to complicate the example.

Lo recomiendo ya que este tipo de displays suelen venir sin pines y hay que tirar de soldador.
Si riesce così facilmente ad integrare con tutti gli altri sensori in modo molto più veloce e facile.
Molto luminoso e facilmente leggibile anche in presenza di altre fonti luminose con un buon grado di lettura.
Ottimo
La qualité des soudures est excellente.
