Using the 16x2 SerLCD - RGB on Black 3.3V with Circuit Python on the Raspberry Pi Pico

Components & Accessories Displays

Hi,

I am building a project involving and HID keypad using the Raspberry Pi Pico which (currently) seems to necessitate the use of circuit python.

I have a 16x2 SerLCD - RGB on Black 3.3V which I would like to use as a character display to show predetermined key values. Looking around online there doesn’t seem to be any libraries to use this display with the Pico.

Are there any libraries I’ve missed?

If not what would be the best way to make one or find another workaround?

Thanks for any assistance.

It’s unofficial and we don’t offer support but the link below might be helpful.

  • https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_SerLCD_Py

    • It’s a regular Python library but might be adaptable to work with Circuit Python if it doesn’t already.

    Thanks! I’ll look into it and see if it can be adapted.

    Same problem… Even bought the Pico book, which references this part, and there is no MicroPython library for actually using the SerLCD! Everything the pi foundation does is unsupported, undocumented garbage… terrible platform for actually learning anything.
