Overview 📝 The 1604 LCD Module is a powerful alphanumeric display that provides 16 characters per line across 4 lines. With double the screen real estate of a standard 1602, it allows you to display complex system statuses, multiple sensor readings, or detailed user menus without scrolling. It uses the industry-standard HD44780 controller, making it 100% compatible with the Arduino LiquidCrystal library.
