Adafruit LCD Pi Plate Rocks!
The RGB 16×2 LCD+Keypad Pi Plate from Adafruit Industries makes a great addition to an Internet radio project. This little circuit board makes it easy to add an LCD display and numeric keypad to a Raspberry Pi.
In this post, we update our original Raspberry Pi Internet Radio project using this cool Pi Plate. Our new radio shares many of the features of the original radio and adds: compact size; a color-changing LCD display; and more buttons for an improved user interface.

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! (read more)
