Description 20 x 4 LCD The Parallax Serial LCDs are very functional, low-cost liquid crystal displays that can be easily interfaced to and controlled by a microcontroller using a I/O pin. Code examples are included for the BASIC Stamp® and Propeller™ chip. The LCD displays provide basic text wrapping so that your text looks correct on the display.
