You really don't want to use IOLine 1 You should stay away from the
analog inputs. Try something up above 15 - that's why the 3 pin LCD
interface on the R board uses IOLine 16.

Other than that, it should work.

You shouldn't! The R board has a specific 3 pin connector for the
serial LCDs. Use that one... The downside is that the 5V to the
display will come from the logic regulator of the R board.
Ordinarily, the IOLines are fed by a separator (and much larger)
regulator. Still, I doubt there will be a problem.
