To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-seriallcd

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-seriallcd

Usage Example

import seriallcd
import busio
import board

uart = busio.UART(board.TX, None, baudrate=9600)

disp = seriallcd.Display(uart) # Create the display object, passing in the UART.

disp.set_backlight(True) # Turn on the backlight.
disp.print("Hello CircuitPython!") # Add some text to the display
