Hi Andrey,
It shouldn't be a restriction... Can you try typing just
require("HD44780")on the left and see what is reported back? Maybe alsomemory().I've just tried the code here and it seems to work fine... However I haven't tried it on the VL board, and looking at the memory usage it seems like you're going to be really close to (if not overflowing) the available memory - which could be the problem.
Sorry about that - but the VL board really doesn't have that much memory for Espruino and extra modules. All the other boards have at least 2.5x more RAM!
It could be made to work better on the VL board, but right now nobody seems willing to put in the effort, and I don't have time :( I just added a bug to help describe the problem though: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/145
If you really wanted the LCD and the temp sensor, you could take the LCD module (http://www.espruino.com/modules/HD44780.js), copy it into your code manually, and remove all the functionality that you don't need.
