How do I interface an Arduino MEGA to this 16x1 LCD (datasheet: **broken link removed** Available from FocusLCDS.com

I'd like to use I2C, if possible?
What other ICs do I need to make it work?

Thanks!
 
Your link doesn't work but the 16x1 LCD at that site appear to be normal and not I²C.

Edit, you can buy an **broken link removed**.
Edit2, or buy a 16x2 I²C LCD.
 
Hi,

You will find a standard 16x2 lcd a lot cheaper than the 16x1 and you can find even better prices on the popular sites including ones with an I2C adapter fitted.

A standard parallel lcd library is included in the Arduino IDE but for I2C you will have to download the library.

For I2C devices you need to use a little utility like this to be sure what the devices I2C address is.
