found this one.
www.ebay.ca/itm/Serial-IIC-I2C-TWI-1602-162-16X2-Character-LCD-Module-Display-For-Arduino-Blue-/180934118867?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a20838dd3
That one looks like the I2C one I bought and threw out due to lack of usable information.
Have a read of this topic here to see just how difficult I2C can be.
yea it's just that almost all of the displays on ebay are titled "IIc/I2c serial lcd display"
It's going to be difficult to find because ebay sellers title te LCD incorrectly.
On the LCD hardware tutorial page there Is a link to search eBay
yea thats what i went to DJ. So does the title I2c serial lcd mean its serial and i2c compatible?
@Technopro
May I ask what you need the LCD to display?
Just basically anything i want. I would send a command to display certain text.
If it's just text you want displayed, and not much text, say 8 characters per line, 2 or 4 lines, then you need to find yourself a simple serial LCD 8x2 or 8x4 display. Look for Serial 3 wire LCD displays. It needs only 3 wires, VCC, Ground and Data.
If it has 4 wires it's probably I2C and not worth the time or effort.
