Adafruit RGB Negative 16x2 LCD+Keypad Kit for Raspberry PiThis new Adafruit Pi Plate makes it easy to use an RGB 16x2 Character LCD. We really like the RGB Character LCDs we stock in the shop. (For RGB we have RGB negative and RGB positive.) Unfortunately, these LCDs do require quite a few digital pins, 6 to control the LCD and then another 3 to control the RGB backlight for a total of 9 pins. That's nearly all the GPIO available on a Pi! With this in mind, we wanted to make it easier for people to get these
This new Adafruit Pi Plate makes it easy to use an RGB 16x2 Character LCD. We really like the RGB Character LCDs we stock in the shop. (For RGB we have RGB negative and RGB positive.) Unfortunately, these LCDs do require quite a few digital pins, 6 to control the LCD and then another 3 to control the RGB backlight for a total of 9 pins. That's nearly all the GPIO available on a Pi!
With this in mind, we wanted to make it easier for people to get these LCD into their projects so we devised a Pi plate that lets you control a 16x2 Character LCD, up to 3 backlight pins AND 5 keypad pins using only the two I2C pins on the R-Pi! The best part is you don't really lose those two pins either, since you can stick i2c-based sensors, RTCs, etc and have them share the I2C bus. This is a super slick way to add a display without all the wiring hassle.
New, we've updated this Pi plate so the buttons on on the right side, which makes it a little more mechanically stable
This pi plate is perfect for when you want to build a stand-alone project with its own user interface. The 4 directional buttons plus select button allows basic control without having to attach a bulky computer.
The plate is designed for both Revision 1 and Revision 2 Raspberry Pi's. It uses the I2C (SDA/SCL) pins. We have a special xtra-tall 26-pin header so the plate sits above the USB and Ethernet jacks.
This product comes as a kit! Soldering required.
Included is a high quality PCB and all the components (buttons, header etc). A 16x2 Character RGB negative LCD is included! Assembly is easy, even if you've never soldered before and the kit can be completed in 30 minutes. Check the product tutorial page for assembly instructions before purchasing
We also have some handy Python code to help you easily talk to the LCD and buttons You can also easily query the 5 keypad buttons to get input through the library, so you get extra buttons without using any more pins. The buttons are automatically de-bounced inside the library.
At this time, the code and plate can control the RGB backlight of our character LCDs by turning each LED on or off. This means you can display the following colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, White and all off. There is no support for PWM control of the backlight at this time, so if you need to have more granular control of the RGB backlight to display a larger range of colors, this plate can't do that (the I2C expander does not have PWM output).

I highly recommend it
Color: White, Size: D20Plus, Color: White, Size: D20Plus
This is an excellent product and I am very happy with it. The suction power is strong , The automatic station makes cleaning almost hands-free, which is very convenient.
Navigation and mapping are accurate, and it moves around furniture smoothly. It handles daily dust, dirt, and pet hair very well. Setup was quick and the app is easy to use.
Overall, this robot saves a lot of time and works reliably every day. Definitely worth the purchase

Really nice and affordable vacuum!
Color: White, Size: D20Plus, Color: White, Size: D20Plus
I’ve been looking to upgrade my vacuum robot for a while. I came across this vacuum, it is affordable and comes with the features that I’m looking for. The strong suction, hair detangle brush (critical if you have long hair) and easy mapping. It honestly made daily cleaning so much easier. The suction power is seriously impressive. It picks up dust and crumbs and I love how it auto emptied the dust bin. Also I have hard floor at home and I’m loving the mopping function. I love how I don’t have to vacuum and mop the floor by myself anymore! Would recommend this robot to people that are looking for an affordable option!

Decent vacuum/mop for the price
Color: Black, Size: D20Plus, Color: Black, Size: D20Plus
We have had this vacuum for a couple of months now and can now give it an honest review.
The good: cleans well, good suction power, durable, manages changes in floor height fairly well, attractive (for a robot vacuum), programmable, great mapping
The bad: noisy, muffled voices, cumbersome to program initially, app is not the most user-friendly, does not like rugs with a higher nap.
Some tips:
1) If you have pets, be cautious of the cleaning solution. Make sure it's pet safe.
2) For pets and children- Remember to pick up any toys before the cleaning cycle begins. The vacuum will try to eat smaller, flat or string toys, and you will end up with a wrapped brush notification.
3) When mapping for the first time, remember to close doors to any rooms or exterior areas you do not want vacuumed or mopped.
