      The Sainsmart LCD Keypad shield was an excellent purchase. It works very well with the Arduino Uno (V3). Once the Code was uploaded to the Arduino Uno the display worked very well.

      The Lcd shield does not come with any code or instructions so I wrote my own but after doing a search on the internet I found many websites that offer similar code.

      The fact that this display has the added keyboard function it give's it the edge over standard 16x2 LCD displays.

      Product fine but Sainsmart need to make the effort to explain the pinout assigmnents necessary to make the standard arduino code work with this module. Simple changes necessary. Also the drivers they offer are a mess and not all of them are relevant to current arduino IDE and so for the beginner it it all quite confusing.

      Great product is a complete product if you want a small key board and 2 line display.. I had some work to do as the Arduino software version I had installed was not compatible so follow the on-line advice on how to implement it EXACTLY. then you will have a great product that works great.

      2.0 out of 5 stars Poor solder job connecting LED to board
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2013
      Verified Purchase
      SainSmart LCD Keypad Shield arrived with broken connection between LED backlight and board (poor solder joint). I needed the item quickly and did not have time to return it and wait for a replacement, so repaired the solder joint myself.

      The code on the SainSmart website (keypad_lcd.zip) is not very well documented or organised. To use it with Arduino 1.0 and above, unzip the archive and copy the keypad_1602for_1.0 folder to your Arduino libraries folder. Rename keypad_1602for_1.0 to DFU_Key, and the example code should work correctly.

      Overall the keypad/lcd seem decent, however I'd hesitate when ordering SainSmart items in the future given the faulty solder joint.

      4.0 out of 5 stars nice display
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2013
      Verified Purchase
      It is well made, appears to work well, and the white on blue display looks really nice. It would be churlish to drop too many marks for not doing it the way I would have, but it is a shame that the buttons are so near the edge that they overhang, slightly, the edge of the arduino board. The whole thing is prone to toppling if operated carelessly. You'll probably want to stick feet at the extreme corners of the arduino (no mean feat in itself). But it does what it says, and saved me some time, so I'm very happy with this purchase.

      I bought it recently, I find it very good if one doesn' mind it hogging 6 pins of the Arduino or if it has to program the Arduino without using a computer.
      I would recommend it with the above resevations

      Idéal pour une interface simple avec l'arduino, l'écran est très lisible , la connection enfantine, les commandes d'affichages sont simple, la lecture des boutons un peu plus délicates, mais il est facile de trouver des exemples.

      Für den Preis erhält man ein prima Board mit Display und Knöpfen. Optimal für Einsteiger. Mein Sohn (13) programmiert mit einem Arduino und LEDs verschiedene Lichtsequenzen und mit dem Display kann er nun noch viel mehr machen. Auf meinen kleinen Arduino passt das Board perfekt. DIe in anderen Bewertungen schon geänderte Ansteuerports in den Code eingetragen und schon erscheint "Hello World" auf dem Display. Qualität und Funktionsumfang für den Preis absolut top. Beispielcodes gibt es genug im Internet.

      2.0 out of 5 stars An sich OK, aber....
      Reviewed in Germany on 19 July 2013

      ...leider waren die Pins so gewaltsam verbogen, dass man diese erst mühevoll umbiegen musste. Damit hätte ich leben können. Doch ein kleines Loch auf dem weißen Untergrund (direkt unter der Anzeige) macht das Ding unansehlich.
      Das Ding geht zurück, in der Hoffnung dass das nächste etwas besser verarbeitet ist.

      Zudem möchte ich anmerken, dass das LCD-Modul billiger wirkt, als ein einzelnes LCD-Modul, die man so erhält. Das gesamte LCD Keypad Shield wirkt leichter, als eines dieser einzelnen LCD-Module. Auch die Leuchtqualität scheint mir arg "plastikmäßig",
      nicht kristiallklar und durchdringend hell.

      Noch ein Kritikpunkt: Die Doku fehlt. Man muss sich diese auf SainSmart suchen ([...])

      Vor allem die Belegung der verbleibenden Pins sind auf den Lötpads neu soriert.

      Ansonsten heißt es:
      Auf den Arduino draufstecken, das "Hello World" aus dem "LiquidCrystal"-Beispiel der Arduino-IDE laden und die Initialisierung wie folgt ändern: LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

      Natürlich am Poti den Kontrast noch richtig einstellen...
