PCF8574T LCD Driver Board

Description

The PCF8574T IO Expansion Board is used as remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus.
Up to 8 PCF8574T IO Expansion Board can be connected to the I2C-bus, providing up to 64 I/O ports.
The PCF8574T IO Expansion Board features allowing the use of multi module connected to the I2C bus at the same time by connecting the pinheader and connector.
There is a small potentiometer onboard, which can adjust the backlight of LCD1602 or LCD2004, and a jumper cap to control the switch of the LED light.

Features
