Works nice, but some header pins were bent

Works nice, but some header pins were bent
I bought 16 of these shields for a school project. Several units arrived with a bent header pin or two. There was no documentation included with the product, but the helpful posts included with the Amazon reviews made it easy to use. Many (but not all) of the input, output and power pins from the Arduino Uno board can be used if you are willing to solder 22 gauge wires to the correct location. I used +5V, Ground and A5 (see attached photo)

    The unit works as expected, though it does not come with any instructions. As many other reviewers have mention, the LCD pin order is (8,9,4,5,6,7). After a little research, I found that the all of the buttons can be accessed through the A0 pin. The switches are run through a resistor network. I did a test using analogRead(A0) and found the following values on A0 for each button: Left = 407, Right = 0, Down = 254 Up = 98 and Select = 638. Your values may vary, but they should be close to these values. Hope it helps!

    Very poor soldering, NO documentation at all telling what pin is what. When I tested for first time it was not working, due to the potentiometer was turn all the way, which mean they did not test unit at all as they said in description.

    3.0 out of 5 stars it could have been a lot better. It could have pulled through the unused pins ...

    Does what it needs to. for a shield, it could have been a lot better. It could have pulled through the unused pins from the Arduino. It could have used the same pin configuration as every other LCD. If the ONLY thing you need to do is display something, this is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shield!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2017

    This is a great shield for an arduino and much cheaper than purchasing from websites like Adafruit. The only trouble I had was that a row of pins were slightly bent upon arrival. I had to re-bend them before it could be put on top of my arduino. If you are new to arduino, you will have to include a few libraries before using this. Also, the pin setup is slightly different than some of the other LCD Shields. If you can't get your text to display try adjusting the variable resistor in the top left corner, (It can be turned quite a bit). Also, as one of the other reviewers mentioned, you will have to initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins.

    LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

    To get you started:
    Open a new sketch>sketch>include library>
    Scroll to the bottom and select "Liquid Crystal"
    This should give you <LiquidCrystal.h>

    Make you sketch look like the following:
    #include <LiquidCrystal.h>

    LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

    void setup() {
    lcd.begin(16, 2);
    lcd.print("Hello, world!");
    }

    void loop() {
    lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    lcd.print(millis() / 1000);
    }

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works good but the contrast know is set extremely wrong from the factory.

    I'm new to Arduino and electronics. This shield works as it should, plugged in, loaded the example script (with the correct pin layout from above) and it worked fine. The reason it's not a 5 is because they ship it with the dimmer pot set so low that I spent an hour troubleshooting before finally deciding to spin the pot enough to get contrast to work. If they'd shipped that set somewhere more reasonable, I could have avoided a lot of confusion.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, but some documentation would have been nice.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017

    Received and plugged unit in. Initially it just lit up the top row of characters as white blocks, but then seemed to work well after some tweaking of LCD library specs:
    Adjusted LCD addressing to "(8,9,4,5,6,7);" and got my "Hello World!" message using the example LIquid Crystal display sketch.

    Unit came in a plainly marked box with no documentation. As a novice, I am still trying to find out how to locate information on accessing the push buttons on the shield. It would have been nice to have a sheet in the box with info on the pinout of the shield, or something mentioning where to go to get some info on the board. Overall a good purchase. I would buy it again.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

    Cloned product, soldering is questionable (cold joints?), not fully cleaned of flux. But it works and for the price a good deal. Works with the Arduino LiquidCrystal 'HelloWorld' sketch with one small change: the pins on the LCD are connected per below:

    * LCD RS pin to digital pin 8
    * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 9
    * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 4
    * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 5
    * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 6
    * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 7

    Change the line in the sketch to:

    // initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
    LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);
