Gravity: LCD12864 Shield for Arduino

The Gravity: LCD12864 Shield for Arduino is an integrated monochrome display board featuring a 128×64 graphic LCD, an LED backlight, and a built-in 5-key joystick. Designed to mount directly onto compatible Arduino boards, it provides students, makers, and robotics hobbyists with an all-in-one visual and input interface for custom hardware projects.

128×64 graphic LCD display

The monochrome screen offers a 128×64 pixel resolution for displaying detailed visual readouts. It provides ample space for multi-line telemetry and clear visual dashboards.

Integrated LED backlight

A built-in LED backlight illuminates the screen for consistent readability. This ensures project data remains visible in dark or low-light environments.

Five-key joystick navigation

The on-board 5-key joystick provides multi-directional navigation and selection controls. It eliminates the need to wire separate pushbuttons for user interaction.

Text and bitmap graphics

The display supports rendering standard alphanumeric text alongside custom bitmap images and icons. This allows you to create customised visual elements tailored to your project.

Embedded GUI prototyping

With integrated display and control hardware on a single board, this shield simplifies developing interactive embedded menus. It serves as a compact platform for testing user interfaces.

Standard Arduino shield format

The board plugs directly onto standard Arduino headers for quick, solderless installation. This form factor keeps prototyping tidy and reduces loose wiring.
