FT232 LCD backpack update

Two alternative FT232 LCD backpack PCBs are in the forum. The first one (pictured above) supports standard H44780 LCDs, and graphic LCDs with some creative wiring. The mini version drops the extra IOs for graphics LCDs to get the smallest possible board.

If you’ve got some time this holiday weekend, check out the development thread and project wiki page.  Have a project idea? Bounce it around in the development forum.

  1. Hi! Can I omit IC4 TPS2041B??? How can I handle BL without it? It’s because here in argentina doesn’t exist!!
    Thank you for the help!

  2. Hi – you can leave it out, but then yoiu will have to switch the backlight another way (like with a transistor, or not at all).
