Hi guys
recently i bought a LCD 16x2 to connect with my pic18f4520 .But when i got the LCD i saw that there are 16 pin in the lcd two more pin for LED backlight.
My question is to i have to connect the two LED back light pin or it will work fine and without those.
Thank you.
Yes!!! The small screens can take @300mA - -- @120mA your datasheet will tell you. I use either a 20Ω or an 82Ω resistor to current limit the backlight.
