16x2 LCD display with I²C interface
2-line, 16-character alphanumeric LCD display with HD44780 controller, blue backlight, white characters, and I²C interface.
Overview
Particularly suitable for reducing the number of I/Os required when used with Arduino or other microcontroller, the I²C interface has jumpers to activate the backlight and contrast adjustment which is carried out via a small trimmer.

While taking photos today is normally a digital affair, there is a wealth of visual information stored on film negatives. Digitization is possible, but it tends to be rather time-intensive, so photographer/hacker Seckin Sinan Isik decided to automate the process. His setup uses a film carrier augmented with a stepper motor and belt drive to advance the 35mm film under a tripod-mounted digital camera. This is controlled by an Arduino Nano, with the camera’s view shown via a video capture device on a nearby computer. In one mode, the user can adjust the film position semi-manually using pushbuttons, then scan the negative. The whole process can also be automated, with a Python computer vision routine. More details on the project can ben found in Isik's PetaPixel article here.
