I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.

Get your LCD display off the breadboard and onto your Arduino! The LCD Shield Kit from the Maker Shed provides a simple, inexpensive way to mount and use your LCD. It is compatible with all Arduino compatible 16 pin or 2 x 8 pin modules and works perfectly with the ‘LiquidCrystal’ Arduino library. You can even mount up to 3 buttons for use as inputs. This shield was designed to work with the 16×2 LCD and the LCD included in the Ultimate Microcontroller Pack. (Note: LCD and Arduino not included.)

  • Works with ALL 16 pin straight line and 2×8 pin LCDs
  • Includes Headers
  • Includes space for 3 additional buttons on the PCB, allowing use as an IO shield.
