I'm playing about with I2C backpacks for LCD's, and i can easily and cheaply buy ones that have a row of 16 pins in a single row, which obviously i can solder directly onto a LCD with the 16 pins at the top (or fit plugs n sockets)
But most of my LCD's have the pins mounted on the side of the PCB in a 2 x 8 configuration,
ATM i'm making up wired adaptors, but i have seen PCB's that convert 1x16 to 2x8 pin, they were sold on alliexpress i think, but i can't find them again.
They are a small L shaped PCB, a 2x8 through hole arrangement on the short side of the L, and a 1x18 arrangement on the long side, double sided board, you just solder pin headers to them,
Does anyone else know what i'm talking about? and have a link to where i can buy a few?, ideally in the uk... as shipping things here is a pain atm.
I know i could design some, but i can only etch single sided pcb's reliably, and they need to be double sided to be compact in the L shape, which puts the I2C backpack parallel to the LCD as if it was connected to a 1x16 pin LCD.
