LCD display
Can anyone tell me what would be the smallest board I could use behind a lcd display (16x2 hd44780) to display two lines of text? With and ....without using an i2c backpack? thanks :)

Re: LCD display
Do you mean, you want a small microcontroller to directly drive the LCD? Probably the simplest thing would be an Arduino Micro:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1315 (without header pins)
https://www.adafruit.com/products/1086 (with header pins)
You can drive the LCD directly with that using the standard LiquidCrystal library
Or, you could use one of our backpacks and an even smaller microcontroller, such as a Trinket

https://www.adafruit.com/product/782 (serial)
