The LCD Keypad shield is developed for Arduino compatible boards

This is a very popular LCD Keypad shield for Arduino or Freeduino board. It includes a 2x16 LCD display and 6 momentary push buttons. Pins 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are used to interface with the LCD. Analog Pin 0 is used to read the push buttons. The LCD shield supports contrast adjustment and backlit on/off functions. It also expands analog pins for easy analog sensor reading and display. 

The LCD Keypad shield is developed for Arduino compatible boards, to provide a user-friendly interface that allows users to go through the menu, make selections etc. It consists of a 1602 white character blue backlight LCD. The keypad consists of 5 keys — select, up, right, down and left. To save the digital IO pins, the keypad interface uses only one ADC channel. The key value is read through a 5 stage voltage divider.

This Lcd Arduino shield has 5 keys — select, up, right, down and left which permit you progress through menus and make selections straight from one board attached to your Arduino project without requiring a huge tower of shields.
 
This design allows you retain connecting sensors to the remainder of the pins, and use it for monitoring or menu selection with the push buttons even for gaming. Project applications require testing or debugging. Displaying information directly assistance on most occasions when a computer isn't at reach. If you're getting to build something not attached to a computer and you would like to see what's happening once you place it on position, this addition will prove very valuable to form sure the program is running well.
The used LCD pins aren't exposed on top side of the board leaving only the unused ones. This way, conflict with LCD pins on top of the board won't happen anymore. This design includes a APC / Bluetooth v3 socket to enable you data transmission together with your robot.
 
The shield is meant for 'classic' Arduino like the Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimilla, etc.
