LCD mini click displays 2x16 monochrome characters on an LMB162XFW LCD display. It features the MCP23S17 port expander and the MCP4161 digital potentiometer, both from Microchip. LCD mini click is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target microcontroller over SPI interface and the following pins on the mikroBUS™ line: PWM, INT, RST, AN.
LCD and backlight control
The PWM pin onboard the LCD mini click is used for backlight control. While the digital potentiometer is used for contrast adjustments.
2x16 LCD display features
2x16 LDC displays are ideal for displaying short messages and numbers. They can display 16 characters per one line, 32 in total. The 5x8 dot font displays characters, symbols, and numbers clearly and vividly.

Pinout diagram
This table shows how the pinout on LCD mini click corresponds to the pinout on the mikroBUS™ socket (the latter shown in the two middle columns).
Programming
The demo shows how to use the SPI LCD library to communicate with the LCD (with HD44780 compliant controllers) in 4-bit mode via the SPI interface. It also uses the PWM for the backlight and the on board digital potentiometer, for controlling display contrast, which can be accessed through SPI. The demo iterates through all the values for the backlight and the contrast intensity.
