-My display has a PCB on the back labled "YwRobot Arduino LCM1602 IICV1" but it appears it is the same as the the one of [[http://www.sainsmart.com/sainsmart-iic-i2c-twi-serial-2004-20x4-lcd-module-shield-for-arduino-uno-mega-r3.html|sainsmart.com]]

 The only difference is the text on the back.
-There were a few (simple) steps in getting the display to work, you just need to know what they are.
+There were a few (simple) steps in getting the display to work, you just need to know what they are. The display is basically a HD44780 LCD display and an PCF8574 I2C-to-parrallel IC
+===== PIC Library =====
+The code on this page is for an Arduino (compatible) microcontroller, however there is a PIC microcontroller library available too.
+I have never gotten around to working with a PIC, but I received an email from //MDP// wrote a library for the LCD display to be used on a PIC18F4550
+He has been kind enough to share this with the world, and he send me his code. You can download everything {{:projects:lcd_module:sainsmart_i2c_adapter_files.zip|here}}
+//MDP// also wrote a more universal library for the PIC, one that is also compatible with the adapter labled "mjkdz". You can download the files {{:projects:lcd_module:lcd_pic_i2c_generic_driver-10.zip|here}}
+===== A demo =====
 But first, here is a demo of the LCD display
