AXE033 with 20x4 LCD? possible?

[GreenLeader]

I have an AXE033 serial/i2c with the standard 16x2 LCD display - all working fine, but I need more lines.

Is there a compatible 20x4 LCD display that can be substituted for the standard 16x2? ie can I use the base module board?

Or do 20x4's need a different controller as well?

Most 20x4 will 'electrically' work with the AXE033, however we are not aware of one that is 'physically' the same size.
Remember that most 20x4 are configured as 40x2 with lines 1 & 3 the first 40 characters and lines 2 & 4 the next 40 characters... confusing until you get used to it!

Thanks - physical size is not a problem - I plan to use a ribbon cable to connect the LCD to the AXE033 which in turn will piggy back off my board...
