P2 User Manual1

The document describes an Arduino Duemilanove graphic LCD shield that allows displaying text, images, and pixel data on a 48x84 pixel screen. Key features include displaying English and Chinese characters. The shield integrates a 5-degree of freedom joystick for navigation and includes digital and analog I/O pins. Code examples are provided to initialize the LCD, write text and images, clear the screen, control the backlight, and read joystick position values. Additional resources with wiring diagrams and specifications are referenced.
