16X2 LCD - Flip - Change orientation

Other Hardware Displays
1

I have built a board using this 16X2 LCD, but the orientation is wrong. I need to flip it vertically. The LiquidCrystal Library has no option to flip LCD 180 degree. Is there a way to do so? thank you

I don't want to waste space on my main board. guess these board are made so that all the module board is to be installed on the main board.

There is a photo of my board.

Solder a short piece of ribbon cable to the display, flip it over and solder the other end to the pcb.

yep, that works. never know there is no option to flip the screen, so didn't plan on that.
